Knapp Center

The Knapp Center is a 6,424-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

The Bell Center to the west is a general athletic building with offices, a pool, gym, and locker rooms.

The Knapp Center itself also holds a weight room by the northwest corner of the basketball court.

The namesake of the arena comes from William Knapp, who is the chairman of Iowa Realty and a member of the Drake University Board of Trustees.

The arena has also hosted media & campaign spin rooms during on-campus political debates and hosted various academic lectures, including lectures from Maya Angelou, Tim Gunn, as well as appearances by former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump.
