Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena
Home of the UMBC Retrievers
1000 Hilltop Circle
Baltimore, MD 21250
Opened: February 3, 2018
The Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena (formerly the UMBC Event Center) is a basketball arena, concert and multi-purpose event venue on the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in Catonsville, Maryland. It is the home of the UMBC Retrievers men's and women's basketball teams as well as the volleyball team and serves as a replacement to the Retriever Activities Center (RAC). It has a capacity of 5,000 seats, approximately 1,000 more than the RAC, and is the campus venue for all commencements and concerts. Construction began in March 2016, with an estimated cost of $67 million. Although the venue was originally supposed to be completed in time for the beginning of the Fall 2017 semester and the start of the 2017-18 athletic season, due to delays it officially opened for the February 3 men's basketball game against Vermont.

The U.S. professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), has also frequently held events in the arena, and since resuming operations in August 2020 following a five-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic-ROH has used the arena as its home base, holding all TV tapings and pay-per-view events there (albeit with no fans and under strict protocols, until Best in the World on July 11, 2021, when fans—at a limited capacity—returned).

On April 19, 2021, the UMBC Events Center changed its name to the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena after signing a 15-year deal for arena naming rights.
