Horne Arena - Home of the Bearcats
The Lander men’s basketball team has the benefit of playing in one of the nicest basketball facilities in the
country. Horne Arena, named after the program founder Finis Horne, is home to Bearcats basketball and volleyball,
graduations, and many campus and community events. The 2,500 chairback seats provide a comfortable
environment to enjoy events. Horne Arena, which opened in 1992, includes coaches’ offices, meeting rooms,
training room facilities and locker room facilities. A new scoreboard in the middle of the arena was added in
2011.
The Bearcats basketball locker room is “big time.” Bearcat players enjoy pro-style lockers that include head
shots and action pictures, nameplates and individual goal sheets. Motivational signs and action photos line the
walls, and a new video projector and screen have been added for video breakdowns. Players slap the “Bearcat
Paw” each time they leave the locker room, signifying their commitment to playing hard and playing together.
