CAM HENDERSON CENTER

Marshall University Athletics (1981-present)

The Cam Henderson Center is the primary indoor athletics complex at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, USA. The first basketball game played in the facility was a varsity match between Marshall and Army on November 27, 1981.

The facility, as designed, was to be a "state of the art" arena seating 14,000. However during construction, massive budget cuts were made and the finished product seated only 10,250. The basketball arena currently seats 9,600. The arena was designed with a retractable lower seating section, which permitted used of the floor area for indoor track and general use by the physical education department. However this seating never worked as designed, and eventually the school stopped retracting the seating for fear it would become stuck in that position.
