McCarthey Athletic Center (MAC) is a 6,000-seat indoor arena in the Northwestern United States, located on the campus of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Opened in November 2004,[7] it is home to the university's Bulldog basketball programs, members of the West Coast Conference (WCC) in Division I of the NCAA.
The MAC is nicknamed "The New Kennel" in reference to the school's former basketball arena, Charlotte Y. Martin Centre, popularly known as "The Kennel," which had been home to the Bulldogs for 39 years. As the MAC has become the established basketball arena on campus, more fans have begun calling it simply "The Kennel," referring to its predecessor as the "Martin Centre." The court's elevation is approximately 1,900 feet (580 m) above sea level.
