Gill Coliseum is the competitive home of the Oregon State men’s basketball, women’s basketball, women’s gymnastics, wrestling and volleyball teams. The arena’s capacity is 9,301 for competitions on Ralph Miller Court, and the building also includes an equipment center, locker rooms and offices for the athletic department and its teams.
Named after the late Slats Gill, who was Oregon State’s head men’s basketball coach for 36 years, the Coliseum is an excellent facility spanning more than an acre.
Enhancements were made to Gill Coliseum before the 2018-19 sports seasons, headlined by the installation of a center-hung video board. The display features two 14.5-foot-high by 26-foot-wide displays facing the sidelines and two 9.5-foot-high by 16.5-foot-wide displays facing the ends of the arena. The project also included all new LED lighting.
Gill Coliseum also has a state-of-the-art sports medicine center, located on the lower level, that provides leading-edge injury prevention and rehabilitation services. The center includes cardiovascular equipment and improved training facilities.
With the improvements, Gill Coliseum continues to be an integral part of the heritage of Oregon State athletics. Since its opening in 1949, Gill Coliseum has been part of more than 3,500 victories, more than 175 Oregon State All-Americans and more than 30 individual and team titles.
