100 E College Blvd
Niceville, FL 32578
Opened: January 1, 2011
The Arena at Northwest Florida St, now called Raider Arena, is located on the campus of Northwest Florida State College in Niceville, Florida. The sleek, modern complex rivals some Division 1 programs in terms of its atmosphere, and currently has a seating capacity of 2,442. The court faces east and west with the main entrance being located on the east side of the building. As soon as you enter there is an impressive World War II display located on the east side dedicated to former Air Force General Jimmy Doolittle, who was stationed at nearby Eglin AFB. You also get to find out how NWF got its nickname as the Raiders as well.

The 74,500 square foot state-of-the-art basketball arena opened in 2011 on the Niceville campus of Northwest Florida State College. It hosted the Emerald Coast Classic from 2011-2015, 2018, 2022 and 2023.
