Read Fieldhouse

1400 Western Ave

Kalamazoo, MI

Opened: January 1, 1957

University Arena is a multi-purpose arena on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Located in Read Fieldhouse, the arena opened in 1957 and is home to multiple Western Michigan Broncos athletic teams, including men's and women's basketball, women's gymnastics, women's indoor track and field, and women's volleyball. The facility seats 5,421 people. Read Fieldhouse was named for Buck Read, WMU head men's basketball coach from 1922 to 1949.

In 1994, University Arena went through a major renovation, adding 20,900 square feet (1,940 m2) to bring the total to 114,900 square feet (10,670 m2). The renovation included rotating the playing surface 90 degrees and reducing the seating capacity from over 10,000 to 5,421.

Before the basketball team moved into Read Fieldhouse, WMU played at Oakland Gymnasium from the 1938–39 season through the 1956–57 season.
