Thompson-Boling Arena

The third-largest on-campus basketball arena in the country, Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center is one of the nation’s biggest and brightest stages for college basketball.

Ticket facilities are conveniently located on the Phillip Fulmer Way level on the west end of the building.

The Tennessee men’s basketball staff, along with the women’s hoops staff, occupy offices in the arena on the Phillip Fulmer Way level. The arena’s dining center, also located on Phillip Fulmer Way and highlighted by a Which Wich, operates on a daily basis, catering to the university’s students and administrative staff.

Entrances to the building are located on the east and west ends, with protection from the elements provided by tucking the doors under the structure. There are a total of 132 entrance doors to the arena.

The distance from the playing floor to the roof is 120 feet, the equivalent of a 12-story building. The arena is 448 feet long and 310 feet wide. It contains more than 411,000 square feet of floor space and more than 17 million cubic feet of space. The structure’s roof measures 142,000 square feet, which is approximately three-and-one-quarter acres.
