The Gold Mine
2147 Atlantic Ave
Long Beach, CA 90815
Opened: January 1, 1959
The Gold Mine is a 1,900 seat multi-purpose arena in Long Beach, California on the campus of California State University, Long Beach. Opened in the late 1950s, it was known as University Gym. The Gold Mine was home to Long Beach State's basketball and volleyball teams until the Walter Pyramid opened in 1994. It used to have nearly 2400 wooden bleacher seats before a mid-80s renovation.

The Gold Mine is still occasionally used for volleyball and basketball games, if there is a scheduling conflict at the Pyramid. Today, its primary function is for Long Beach State intramural sports and other campus events.

On February 23, 2023 due to the heavy and continuing rains in the Southern California region the Long Beach St men's basketball game versus CSU Northridge was move to the Gold Mine. Also, on January 16, 2025, due to a facility issue with the Walter Pyramid, the men's basketball game against UC San Diego was moved to The Goldmine.
