The Veterans Memorial Fieldhouse was an 8,500-seat (6,500 for basketball) multi-purpose arena in Huntington, West Virginia. It was built in 1950. Prior to the completion of the Huntington Civic Center (now known as Marshall Health Network Arena) in 1976, it was the only large arena in the city. It closed on February 10, 2012, and was demolished later that year.[1]
