CU Events/Conference Center
950 Regent Dr
Boulder, CO 80309
Opened: November 8, 1979
Originally known as the CU Events/Conference Center, then the Coors Events/Conference Center and Coors Events Center, now called the CU Events Center, is an 11,064 seat multi-purpose arena on the main campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. Opened in 1979, it is home to the Colorado Buffaloes men's and women's basketball teams and women's volleyball of the Pac-12 Conference.

The building is an eight-sided concrete structure, with three levels: arena floor, service level, and the concourse level. Single-tiered inside, it replaced the Balch Fieldhouse, the current home of the indoor track and field team located directly adjacent to Folsom Field. The approximate elevation at street level is 5,400 feet above sea level making it the college basketball arena with the 5th highest elevation in the country.

The venue was initially called the CU Events/Conference Center and was renamed to the Coors Events/Conference Center in September 1990 after the Coors family, in recognition of a $5 million gift from the Adolph Coors Foundation. In 2008 with the addition of the basketball offices to the building on the service level, the "Conference" was removed from the name as there were no longer conference rooms in the building. Although the naming agreement with the Coors Foundation had long expired, the Coors name remained on the building until 2018, when it was renamed the CU Events Center. At the time, the CU athletic department announced it was actively seeking a new naming rights partner.

It is the highest indoor arena in the Pac-12 Conference, approximately 600 feet above the Huntsman Center at Utah. It is one of only two basketball arenas in a major conference that uses roof-mounted retractable goals: the other arena that also is equipped with this style of basket is Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke.
