Carter Gymnasium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carter Gymnasium is a 947-seat multi-purpose arena in Buies Creek, North Carolina. It is home to the Campbell University Fighting Camels basketball team. It is one of the smallest college basketball venues in Division I (the CSU Field House home to Charleston Southern University's program is the current smallest Division I men's basketball arena). Built in 1952 and opened in 1953, the dimensions of the basketball court are smaller than regulation, but a grandfather clause allows Campbell University to continue its tenure in the division.
[edit] The Future
The Fighting Camels will begin play in 2008 in the new John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center which is currently under construction. The new $30 million arena is slated to seat 3,000 spectators for athletic events.[1]
