Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion
Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion is the primary home for the Husky men's and women's basketball teams, volleyball team and gymnastics squad. The 2008-09 season marks the 83rd season of service for the multi-purpose facility. The 2000-01 season featured the re-opening of the Arena after a major, 16-month long, top-to-bottom overhaul. Originally completed in 1927, the arena underwent a $40 million, 19-month renovation between March of 1999 and November of 2000 to reconfigure its interior. The pavilion's name was also renovated. The building is now called Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion as a result of a $9.1 million payment from Bank of America for naming rights and a 10-year corporate partnership.[1]

Brandon Roy's No. 3 jersey was retired on January 22, 2009 during a home game against the USC Trojans. Roy gave a short speech at halftime, alongside his parents, fiancée, two children and former coach Lorenzo Romar. The sold-out crowd chanted "B-Roy" while giving him a standing ovation. The Huskies further honored Roy by beating the Trojans, 78-73.[3]
