Redbird Arena

About Redbird Arena

The crown jewel of Illinois State Athletics, Redbird Arena is used by the men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams. The multipurpose facility can hold up to 10,200 enthusiastic fans, making the student section at ISU basketball games especially raucous. The arena has a center-hung scoreboard with four-sided HD video boards, making it easy to relax and watch a game no matter where you are in the stadium. Redbird Arena has hosted Illinois High School Association events and can host wrestling and cheerleading meets as well as volleyball tournaments. In February of 2020, it will be home to the IHSA Girls Basketball State Finals.
