The arena served as the site of the America East Conference (then North Atlantic Conference) men's basketball tournament championship game in 1992.
In 2010, the University installed solar panels on the half barrel roof of the Field House.[2] In 2013, the Field House was converted into an indoor practice facility with artificial turf for all sports including football.[3]
