Quick Facts Full name, Former names ...

The 153,000-square-feet facility is home to the Cal Baptist Lancers men's and women's basketball teams as well as select matches for the women's volleyball and men's wrestling teams.[3] The arena replaced Van Dyne Gym for men's and women's basketball as part of the Lancers' transition to Division I. The women's volleyball team and men's wrestling team use Van Dyne Gym as their main venue.[4]

In addition to athletic events, the arena also hosts CBU's chapel program, student orientation activities and commencement ceremonies.[2]

In February 2023 the arena was re-named in honor of Dale E. Fowler and his wife Sarah Ann Fowler in recognition of the couple's $28.5 million donation to the university.[5][6][7]
