Alumni Hall

Opened: December 16, 1956
Closed: February 26, 2000
Alumni Hall was a 5,308 seat multi-purpose arena in Chicago on DePaul's Lincoln Park campus. It was dedicated on December 16, 1956, and was owned and operated by DePaul University. It replaced the University Auditorium, the school's prior on-campus gym. A student-led fundraising campaign raised $25,000 over five weeks. This covered part of the building cost, which totaled $2 million. Construction began on Oct. 3 in 1955 and finished in December 1956.

It was home to the DePaul Blue Demons men's basketball team from 1956 until they moved to the Rosemont Horizon in 1980. The DePaul Blue Demons women's basketball team played all their home games at Alumni Hall from 1974 to 2000, while the men's team played occasional games there. The DePaul Blue Demons women's volleyball team also played their home matches at Alumni Hall.

The building was the site of the first round of the men's NCAA Midwest Regional in 1960 and was used for first round NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament games in 1990 and 1992. The arena closed in 2000 and was torn down in 2001. The women's team moved to the Sullivan Athletic Center and the men's team moved all games to their main arena, Rosemont Horizon.
