Gallagher Hall
1046 West Hall of Fame Ave
Stillwater, OK 74078
Opened: December 9, 1938
Gallagher Hall, originally known as 4-H Clubs and Student Activities Building, now called Gallagher-Iba Arena, also once known as "The Rowdiest Arena in the Country" and "The Madison Square Garden of the Plains", is the basketball and wrestling venue at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Originally completed in 1938 and named the 4-H Club and Student Activities Building, it was soon renamed Gallagher Hall to honor wrestling coach Ed Gallagher. After renovations in 1987, the name became Gallagher-Iba Arena, as a tribute to longtime basketball coach and innovator Henry Iba.

The first basketball game was played on December 9, 1938, when Iba's Oklahoma A&M Aggies beat Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawks, 21-15, in a battle between two of the nation's early basketball powers. In its original configuration, seating was limited to 9,000. The original maple floor, still in use today, was the most expensive of its kind in America when it was installed in 1938.
