Named after longtime athletic director and football coach Bob Devaney, the Bob Devaney Sports Center is home to the Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics, women’s swimming and diving, track and field and wrestling teams.

The Bob Devaney Sports Center received extensive renovations in 2000, featuring two HuskerVision replay screens, hustle stat boards and digital message boards. The new sound system, lighting system and ring of honor add to the atmosphere in the arena, as does the addition of chairback seating on the arena floor.

Also in 2000, fans at the Devaney Center saw the addition of a Husker Hall of Fame and a Husker Walk of Fame. The displays in the concourse areas highlight more than 100 years of Nebraska athletics and more than 25 years of women’s athletics at the university. In 2004, courtside seating was put in place, giving the Devaney Center an added home-court advantage with fans closer to the action.

With a capacity of 13,595, the Devaney Center has hosted numerous NCAA postseason events since opening its doors in 1976. The Husker men’s basketball team has enjoyed playing on the Devaney Center court, as NU has an all-time record of 398-125 (.761) at home. Nebraska has posted less than eight home victories just once (1976-77) in the 33-year history of the Devaney Center.

The Husker men’s basketball team has seen recent renovations to the team’s locker room and ready room, as well as in the coaches’ offices. Renovations in the locker room in 2007 included new lockers for players and an upgrade in the player lounge area to seat more players at one time comfortably. A year earlier in the fall of 2006, the coaches offices and reception area also underwent a significant renovation. In 2004, the court was refinished, and was redesigned for just the third time ever, giving it a more classic look.

The Devaney Center boasts a top-notch weight room in the facility, making strength training a useful tool before or after practice. The weight room is part of three weight rooms available to NU student-athletes, as the Husker Power program is the model of excellence in strength training for schools around the nation.
