FROST ARENA

 

Brookings, South Dakota

 

Frost Arena is a 6,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Brookings, South Dakota. It was built on the east side of campus in 1973 and is home to the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams, replacing the Gymnasium-Armory, built in 1918 and nicknamed "The Barn," which still resides on the westside of campus. Frost Arena was named after former SDSU basketball coach, Reuben B. "Jack" Frost.

 

Originally featuring 9,500 seats, the facility, part of the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center (HPER is short for Health, Physical Education, & Recreation and is pronounced 'Hyper'), now seats 6,500 fans for basketball. The arena's attendance record is for the SDSU-Augustana men's game on February 11, 1989, which attracted 9,456 fans.
