Trojan Arena is a 6,000-seat arena that is home to the Troy Trojans men's and women's basketball, volleyball and track programs. It is also used for the University's commencement ceremonies and special events. The arena replaced the University's longtime basketball and events facility, Sartain Hall, which opened in 1962. Trojan Arena has been considered to be one of the most modern and technologically advanced basketball facilities in the southeastern United States since it was completed in 2012. The total cost to build the arena was $40 million.

The arena is designed to be used for other multi-purpose reasons, including concerts, banquets, indoor sports tournaments, and graduation ceremonies.

The facility was constructed by Whaley Construction Company, and the architects were Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, and Populous.^{[citation needed]}
