Pride Roofing University Center

If you happen to enter the Southeastern Louisiana University campus from the west, you can’t help but notice the Lions’ trademark athletic facility dominating the horizon. Southeastern’s multi-purpose Pride Roofing University Center provides an impressive home for Lion and Lady Lion basketball as well as the volleyball squad.
           
Built in 1982 at a cost of $16.3 million, the UC has seating capacity for 7,500 and hosts many other functions including Southeastern’s commencement, a variety of concerts and community events, and the circus. For home basketball games, there’s no denying the electric atmosphere in “The Jungle.” During the 2011-12 basketball season, a new electronic message board was added to the press row area to improve the aesthetics.
