Agganis Arena is a 7,200-seat[5] multi-purpose arena in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, on the campus of Boston University, built on the location of the former Commonwealth Armory. It is home to the five-time national champion Boston University Terriers men's ice hockey team. It is named after Harry Agganis, a football and baseball player for BU.[6] The ice hockey rink is named Jack Parker Rink, after the legendary BU hockey player and coach.[7] The arena is part of Boston University's John Hancock Student Village, which also includes dormitories and the university's five-story Fitness and Recreation Center.
Agganis was dedicated in 2004 and hosted its first event in 2005.[8] It replaced Walter Brown Arena, located at the Case Athletic Center, as the home of BU Men's Ice Hockey, though Walter Brown Arena is still in use as the home of BU Women's Ice Hockey. The BU basketball team played games at the arena until 2015, before moving back to Case Gym.
Agganis serves as a regional auditorium for large events, including concerts, ceremonies of other schools such as Berklee College of Music,[9] musicals, awareness events, and appearances by speakers such as Barack Obama and Dave Chappelle.
Since 2008, Agganis has hosted the annual CRASH-B World Indoor Rowing Championship.[10]
