TheGeorge V. Meehan Auditorium is a 3,059-seat hockeyarena, inProvidence, Rhode Island. The arena opened in 1961 and was dedicated on January 6, 1962. It is named for George V. Meehan, the benefactor of the arena, which he hoped would "service and promote" the Brown Bearsice hockey program, which now belongs to theIvy andECAC Hockey leagues. It is recognizable for its large white domed roof, and is located on the highest corner (Hope Street and Lloyd Avenue) of Brown's main athletic complex onCollege Hill in Providence.

Meehan was renovated in 2002, bringing its capacity up to its current level.
