Christl Arena
The Edward C. Christl Jr. Arena seats 5,043 and was named for 1st Lt. Edward C. Christl Jr. (USMA '44), who was killed in Austria in 1945. Elected basketball team captain during his senior year, Christl led the Cadets to a perfect 15-0 record. Christl Arena possesses a Horner hardwood basketball floor, which was refurbished in 1999 and measures 149x116 feet. The arena also contains six Hydra-Rib basketball supports, fixed chair and bench seating for spectators and a four-sided overhead scoreboard at midcourt, easily visible at any angle. Christl Arena has been host to other sporting events such as international volleyball and gymnastics meets and exhibition basketball contests. It has also been the site of various intercollegiate and high school championship tournaments and has served as home to Army's women's basketball team the past six years.
