Fitzgerald Fieldhouse

3719 Terrace St

Pittsburgh, PA 15261

Opened: December 15, 1951

Closed: March 2, 2002

Fitzgerald Field House is a 4,122 seat multi-purpose athletic venue on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fitzgerald Field House is named for Rufus Fitzgerald, a past chancellor (1945-1955) of the university. It is the primary home competition venue for the university's gymnastics, volleyball, and wrestling teams.

Built in 1951, Fitzgerald Field House was, for five decades, the home of Pitt's basketball program. The Field House provided a home court advantage that allowed the program to achieve a 414-175 (.703) record while utilizing the facility. It also served as the home basketball court of Pitt's intracity rival, the Duquesne University Dukes, from 1956-57 to 1963-64. From 1984 until 2002, the Pitt men's basketball team also played selected Big East Conference and non-conference games at the Civic Arena. Pitt's women's basketball team also used the Field House as their primary home court. Both the men's and women's Pitt basketball teams moved to the Petersen Events Center in 2002.
