Selland Arena

The Selland Arena is an 11,300-seat multi-purpose arena built in 1966 in Fresno, California. It is named after former Fresno mayor Arthur Selland and has had over ten million people walk through its doors in its over forty-year history. Currently the arena is operated by SMG under contract from the City of Fresno. The arena is home to the Central Valley Coyotes arena football team and to the Fresno Falcons of the ECHL. The Falcons played at Selland Arena through 2003 when they moved to Save Mart Center at Fresno State. The team will return to Selland for the 2008-09 season and play its first game back at Selland since the 2003 playoffs when it opens the season against the Bakersfield Condors on October 24, 2008. It was also home to the Fresno State basketball program until it moved to the on-campus Save Mart Center in 2003. Events that have taken place at the arena include the WWF Royal Rumble 1996, Fully Loaded 1998, and the 2000 Western Athletic Conference basketball tournament. It also has hosted the California Interscholastic Federation Central Section Basketball Finals since 2004 and the annual California Future Farmers of America State Conference.
