McArthur Court, also known as “The Pit” or “Mac Court,” is a legendary basketball arena on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. Once home to the Oregon Ducks men’s and women’s basketball teams, the arena was replaced by Matthew Knight Arena in 2011.
Named after Clifton N. (Pat) McArthur, a U.S. Congressman and the university’s first student body president, McArthur Court is famed for its unique structure, where fans sit almost on top of the court, making the maple floor bounce with their enthusiasm. Sporting News named it the “best gym in America” in 2001, and sports writer Bill Kintner ranked it among the top five college basketball arenas for its history, character, and thrilling atmosphere.
Funded by a $15 fee from the Associated Students of the University of Oregon, the arena’s mortgage was ceremoniously burned upon full payment. Until 2011, it was the second-oldest on-campus arena still in use.
Experience the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of McArthur Court and be part of its enduring legacy!
