In 2007, the arena was replaced by the
Addition Financial Arena as the game facility for both the men's and women's basketball teams. The last basketball game played in the facility was on March 3, 2007, when the Golden Knights men's team beat the
East Carolina Pirates, 77–64, in
Conference USA play. The last women's game was on March 1, when they lost to the
Southern Methodist Mustangs, 79–58. The arena hosted the
Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball tournament three times, in 1994, 1995, and 2002. Following the opening of the new arena, the facility was renamed The Venue at UCF and was renovated in 2007 and 2008. When it reopened in April 2008, its retractable bleachers were replaced by 2,500 fixed stadium seats. The Venue is used as both a facility for minor indoor sports such as
volleyball, as well as a training facility for the Knights basketball teams. It also houses a
weight room for use by
student athletes. It also serves as the Robot Pit area for the annual
FIRST FRC –
FIRST Robotics Competition Orlando Regional Competition held at the
CFE Arena. ==See also==
