Schoenecker Arena
Home of the St. Thomas-Minnesota Tommies
2115 Summit Ave
St. Paul, MN 55105
Opened: January 1, 1981
Closed: March 3, 2024
The Anderson Athletic & Recreation Complex (AARC) is the home to the Schoenecker Arena on the campus of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. Built in 1981, the arena was home to the St. Thomas varsity men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. Able to hold more than 1,800 fans, Schoenecker Arena has been home to numerous large events, including multiple Tommie-Johnnie basketball games and multiple large concerts and shows. When not in use by varsity teams, the facility is open for use by students and faculty.

Steve Fritz court, named for the legendary former St. Thomas player, coach and athletic director, is a parquet-style maple floor, and sits in the center of an arena that features a 10-foot by 16-foot video board and 36 Bose speakers, providing a DIII basketball experience like none other.

The arena was named after Guy and Barbara Schoenecker, who were donors to the University of St. Thomas. The arena was a fitting farewell to a building that hosted over 700 St. Thomas men's and women's games.

In 2025, the University of St. Thomas opened the Lee and Penny Anderson Arena, a new facility on the south campus, to replace Schoenecker Arena.
