Rose Hill Gym is a 3,470-seat multi-purpose arena on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in The Bronx, New York City. The arena, which opened in 1925, is the oldest currently in use by a NCAA Division I basketball team. It also houses the volleyball & women's basketball teams.
At the time it was built, it was one of the largest on-campus facilities in the country, earning it the nickname "The Prairie." The Rose Hill Gym has been the site of many legendary college and high school basketball games, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's final high school game. During World War II, it was also used as a barracks. New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch lived in these barracks for a time.
