The arena replaced the University's longtime basketball and events facility, Sartain Hall, which opened in 1962.

Trojan Arena has been considered to be one of the most modern and technologically advanced basketball facilities in the southeastern United States since it was completed in 2012.

The arena is designed to be used for other multi-purpose reasons, including concerts, banquets, indoor sports tournaments, and graduation ceremonies.

The court level of the arena features eight sections of Daktronics LED scorer’s tables as well.

Trojan Arena's largest attendance of 5,120 took place on November 9, 2012 against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
