Redbird Arena
232 West College Avenue
Normal, IL 61761
Opened: January 11, 1989
Originally known as Redbird Arena, now called CEFCU Arena, is a 10,200 seat multi-purpose arena located in Normal, Illinois, on the campus of Illinois State University. Built in 1989, the building is notable for its use of a Teflon-coated roof that gives off a "glow" during night events. Three Illinois State Redbirds athletic teams use the facility as their home court: men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's volleyball.

The arena was renamed CEFCU Arena after the school and CEFCU agreed to a 10-year naming rights deal on November 4, 2022. Students who enjoy men's basketball and sit in the student section often paint their faces red and wear red T-shirts and become part of "Red Alert", the official student spirit group of Illinois State athletics.
