Home men's and women's basketball and volleyball games are held in the gymnasium, the team nickname being the Gaels.

Many athletic camps for youths also use the gym, primarily in the summer, and other on-campus events, such as the Baccalaureate mass, are also held there.

Banners commemorating successful seasons, championships and post-season appearances for all Saint Mary's sports hang on the back wall.

Current athletic director Mark Orr has said there are design plans that would knock out the front and back walls of the gym, adding 1,000 seats, but there is not yet funding for the project.

During the 2004–2005 season the men's basketball team posted a 15–1 record in their home gym en route to a bubble NCAA tournament berth.
