Chaifetz Arena
Chaifetz Arena (/ˈʃeɪfɛts/ SHAY-fets), is a 10,600 seat multi-purpose arena in St. Louis, Missouri, located on the Saint Louis University campus. The arena began construction on August 28, 2006, and opened on April 10, 2008.
In February 2007, Chicago-based businessman Richard Chaifetz, CEO of ComPsych Corporation and 1975 graduate of SLU, made a $12 million donation to the university, which named the arena in his honor.
Since the 2008–09 season, it has been the home of the Saint Louis University men's and women's basketball teams. Additionally, the attached Chaifetz Pavilion includes a two-court basketball and volleyball practice facility that also serves as an 800-seat venue that is the home for the university's volleyball teams. The arena, known as "the Jewel of Midtown," includes a three-story athletic office. Former VCU coach Shaka Smart called Chaifetz Arena the toughest venue to play in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Men's basketball records at Chaifetz Arena:
The first event held at the venue was a Harlem Globetrotters game against the Washington Generals, played on April 11, 2008.
Music acts such as Barry Manilow, Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, Tool, Taylor Swift, Adele and Sabrina Carpenter have performed at the arena; the lattermost breaking the attendance record with a crowd of 11,727.
The first student concert was held on April 26, 2008, featuring artists Tyler Hilton, Chingy, The Starting Line, Jo Dee Messina, and Augustana.
Saint Louis University held its first commencement ceremony on campus in 60 years at the arena on May 17, 2008. Fox Sports personality and native St. Louisan Joe Buck delivered the Commencement Address.
