The multi-purpose arena, which opened in 1955, held 8,500 people. It was home to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons men’s basketball team from 1956 to 1989, though the Deacons played many of their games at the Greensboro Coliseum as well. The arena was razed and replaced by the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in 1989.
