The newly merged school took on the athletic nickname of St. Vincent, the Fighting Irish.

Mary alumnus LeBron James donated $1 million to the school for the purpose of renovating their basketball arena.

The project included the installation of a new basketball floor, scoreboard, locker rooms, and bleachers, and the seating capacity, which was raised from 1,600 to 1,831.

The subsequently renamed LeBron James Arena now also serves as home of the American Basketball Association's Akron Aviators.
