Construction of Mackey Arena began in 1965. The building was dedicated on December 2, 1967 during the Purdue-UCLA game. The arena is used for Purdue basketball games, where capacity crowds of 14,123 are the rule. Mackey houses locker rooms, training rooms, and the offices for athletic administration and coaching staffs. There are six main gates that service eighteen sections in the arena. It is named for the late Purdue Director of Athletics, Guy “Red” Mackey, who served in that capacity for 29 years. The floor was recently named “Keady Court” in honor of Purdue’s winningest basketball coach. The student section is nicknamed “The Paint Crew.”
