Case Gym is a 1,800-seat multi-purposearena atBoston University inBoston, Massachusetts.[2] It opened in 1972 as part of the Harold Case Physical Education Center, which is named after the university's fifth president,Harold C. Case.
The gym is referred to as "The Roof" because it is located on the top level of the building, aboveWalter Brown Arena. It is home to theBoston University Terriersmen's and women's basketball teams, as well as the men's wrestling team. Basketball games are also played inAgganis Arena, and on occasionWalter Brown Arena. When Boston University left theAmerica East Conference for thePatriot League in July 2013, they announced that all home men's basketball conference games would be played at Agganis Arena, with the non-conference games to be played at Case.[3]
Case Gym hosted the championship games of the 1997 and 2002America East Conference men's basketball tournament[4] as well as the championship game of the 2011America East Conference women's basketball tournament.[5] It has also hostedRing Of Honor Wrestling Shows through wrestling promoter and Boston University alumnus Mike "Mongoose" Coughlin.[6]
The center, whose recreational use has declined since the opening of theFitness and Recreation Center adjacent to Agganis Arena, is approximately located where the left field "pavilion" seats atBraves Field were before theBoston Braves, aMajor League Baseball club, were relocated toMilwaukee in 1953.
