Boston University Case Gym


Case Gym is a 1,800-seat multi-purpose arena at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. It opened in 1972 as part of the Harold Case Physical Education Center, and is referred to as "The Roof" because it is located on the top level of the building, above Walter Brown Arena. It is home to the Boston University Terriers men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the men's wrestling team. It Also Hosts Ring Of Honor Wrestling Shows through wrestling promoter & Boston University Alumni Mike "Mongoose" Coughlin. (Basketball games have been played on occasion in both Walter Brown Arena and nearby Agganis Arena.) Case Gym hosted the title games of the 1997, 2002, and 2003 America East men's basketball tournaments.
The center, whose recreational use has declined since the opening of the Fitness & Recreation Center adjacent to Agganis Arena, is approximately located where the left field "pavilion" seats at Braves Field were before the Braves, a major-league baseball club, were relocated to Milwaukee in 1953.
