About Matthew Knight Arena

Matthew Knight Arena

Matthew Knight Arena stands as Eugene's striking basketball palace, a 12,364-seat venue that serves as home to the University of Oregon Ducks basketball and volleyball teams on the eastern edge of campus. Named in memory of Nike founder Phil Knight's son, this 227-million-dollar architectural collaboration creates an electric atmosphere for Big Ten Conference games while serving as a dramatic gateway for visitors arriving from Interstate 5. Whether you're catching a high-stakes college basketball matchup or simply admiring its contemporary design at the corner of Franklin Boulevard and Villard Street, this arena represents the pinnacle of collegiate sports venues in the Pacific Northwest.
