About James A. Rhodes Arena

With two courts and a capacity of 5,500 spectators, the arena is home to the basketball and volleyball teams of the University of Akron. While not in use as a collegiate facility, it hosts outside teams (and has welcomed NBA star LeBron James when he was an athlete at a local high school). The arena is known for its impressive sound system and also features a sports medicine and training facility, fan team shop and meeting rooms.
