Jenison Fieldhouse (alternately referred to in university publications asJenison Field House) is a 10,004-seat, later reduced to 6,000-seat, multi-purposearena inEast Lansing, Michigan. The arena opened in 1940 and was named for alumnus Frederick Cowles Jenison, whose estate, along withPWAP funds, funded the building. It was home to theMichigan State University Spartans basketball team before they moved toBreslin Center in the fall of 1989. Previously Michigan State College (MSC) basketball had played home games atDemonstration Hall and theIM Circle (then known as College Gymnasium) buildings.

Seating capacity at Jenison was rated at 12,500 from its opening until the early 1970s when rulings by the state fire marshal reduced the limit to 9,886 (later recalculated at 10,004). Standing-room only admissions allowed some Jenison crowds to exceed 15,000 in the 1940s, but rated capacity was rarely exceeded after 1950.

The venue is most famous for its 1978–79 NCAA champion basketball team, which includedEarvin "Magic" Johnson, and was coached byJud Heathcote. Michigan State also qualified for theFinal Four in 1957, and Jenison also hosted the1963 NCAA basketball tournament Mideast Regionals. A plaque outside the arena commemorates one of the 1963 regional semifinals; the "Game of Change", in which asegregated Mississippi State team played and lost to the eventual national champion, anintegrated Loyola team. The losing Maroons (now known as the Bulldogs) had defied a court order prohibiting them from leaving the state to play an integrated team. The game is now seen as a watershed moment in the intersection of civil rights and sports during theCivil Rights Movement.^[1]

The three-story building's architecture is lateart deco, with a monumental entrance that includes three reliefs of a baseball player, basketball player, and football player above the three main doors. Locker room facilities at Jenison have also been used for Spartan baseball and softball teams, which compete at the adjacent outdoor venuesKobs Field andOld College Field.

During its first 30 years of service, Jenison Fieldhouse featured a dirt surface, with a hardwood basketball court elevated about a foot over floor level. The building was also used for indoor track and occasionally as an indoor football practice facility. A Tartan indoor track and basketball floor surface was installed in 1970, although a portable hardwood floor was used for basketball games from 1980 to 1989.

Following the move of Spartan basketball teams to theBreslin Center, Jenison Fieldhouse was reconfigured and renovated to host numerous other university athletic activities. The Fieldhouse is currently where the gymnastics, wrestling, and indoor track and field teams compete. It is also the second home for the women’s volleyball team when there is a conflict at the Breslin Center. It also contains Athletic Department offices.
