Xfinity Center, which has a capacity of 17,950.

The student section contains 4,000 seats arranged in the first ten rows on all sides of the arena. The most notable feature of the arena is the steeply pitched kop-style seating area at the west end of the arena behind the visiting team's second half basket, informally known as "the Wall." Originally designed to reduce excavation costs due to a hill, the area features 2,600 student seats meant to intimidate opposing players who shoot free throws in the second half.
