Williams Arena

As part of the 1950 renovation, it was divided into two separate arenas within one building: a larger one for basketball and a smaller one for hockey.The Minnesota Lynx played all of their 2017 postseason home games at Williams Arena, ultimately winning the franchise's fourth WNBA championship in the building.There are some seats with partially obscured views due to the upper deck extending past the trusses.Over the summer of 2012, a new Daktronics videoboard and fascia displays were installed as part of a sporting facility update, replacing the older board.This served as the inspiration for the NCAA Tournament's Final Four[citation needed], which in recent years has often set its court above the stadium floor.From 1950 until the opening of Marriott Center at Brigham Young University in 1971, it had the largest capacity of any collegiate basketball arena in the country.
The entrance
Temporary air conditioning was required for the 2017 WNBA Finals so the arena would meet WNBA temperature standards. [ 11 ]
