the events Center<br />
Since Feb. 7, 2004, the <strong>Binghamton</strong> women’s basketball team has played its home games in the state-of-the art Events Center.<br />
With a capacity of 5,142, it is the largest arena in the Southern Tier and one of the largest facilities in the America<br />
East Conference.<br />
Without question, the Events Center has been widely acclaimed as an<br />
outstanding facility. The <strong>Bearcats</strong> have made themselves at home in the Events<br />
Center, going 58-41 during the past eight seasons. Five years ago, <strong>Binghamton</strong> had<br />
a home record of 11-2 and last season, it went 10-2.<br />
In addition to its record on the Events Center court, the <strong>Binghamton</strong> women’s<br />
basketball team has been just as successful at the box office. In 2005-06, 2006-07,<br />
and last season, the <strong>Bearcats</strong> led the America East Conference in home attendance.<br />
<strong>Binghamton</strong> concluded the 2006-07 season by hosting the America East Conference<br />
Tournament.<br />
The Events Center also has hosted the 2005, 2006 and 2008 America East<br />
Conference men’s basketball championships. Over 14,000 fans flocked to the threeday<br />
tournament in 2005.<br />
As <strong>Binghamton</strong> continues to progress as a Division I program, so too does<br />
its game day environment at the Events Center. The <strong>Binghamton</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
Pep Band, under the direction of Mo Taylor, is now in its fourth season. The<br />
<strong>Binghamton</strong> spirit squad, consisting of the Kickline, Dance Team and Cheer<br />
Team has grown in numbers as well as routines, both before and during all<br />
home games.<br />
In addition to athletics, the Events Center has been the host of numerous<br />
concerts, shows, festivals and other prominent area events.<br />
