 Located in Bartels Hall, Newman Arena -- home of the men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams -- is one of the finest arenas in the Ivy League. The facility is named for F.R. Newman '12, who was considered one of the nation's foremost experts in industrial fuel-oil marketing. Helen Newman Hall, named for his wife of 36 years, is also part of his legacy and one of his many gifts to Cornell.
Since opening its doors to play, the arena has hosted nearly 300 basketball games and more than 100 volleyball matches, including the 1996 Ivy League volleyball tournament and numerous wrestling matches. The arena has also hosted the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team and has held speeches by world leaders such as Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and Lee Teng-hui '68, President of Taiwan. The arena provides seating for 4,473 fans, and features telescoping bleachers that allow for conversion to three courts for practice. |
