America First Event Center

The 5,300 seat America First Event Center is home to Thunderbird Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Volleyball, and Gymnastics. Located in the heart of SUU’s campus, the America First Event Center provides Thunderbird Athletics with a unique home court advantage and one of the best arenas in the Big Sky Conference. The arena features two large videoboards, a prominent student section, and a grand concourse which leads directly to the Sharwan Smith Student Center.

Each year, the America First Event Center serves as the centerpiece venue for the Utah Summer Games and has housed the NBA’s Utah Jazz for fall training camp on multiple occasions. With plans for even more renovations to begin soon, including a new playing court and multiple graphic enhancements, the America First Event Center will continue to provide SUU Athletics with a proud home.
