Home to the University of Georgia men's and women's basketball teams and the Gym Dogs. Former home to yearly rodeo.

In an apocryphal story that still makes the rounds at UGA, Jake Scott, safety on the 1968 SEC Champion football team, rode his motorcycle up & over the arches which form part of the curved roof on this building. Special railings were put into place by the university to prevent such a feat from being repeated. Mr. Scott went on to a distinguished pro career, including playing on the undefeated Miami Dolphins team of 1970.
