Grand Canyon University announced Tuesday it signed a multiyear naming rights agreement with Global Credit Union for its on-campus basketball arena.
The new name of the arena will be Global Credit Union Arena, which will keep the same initials as the former name – GCU Arena.
Financial details of the deal were not publicly disclosed.
The 7,000-seat, 135,000-square-foot arena opened in 2011 and was expanded in 2014. The arena and GCU’s basketball program, which made the jump to NCAA Division I in 2013, have received a lot of praise in the college basketball world for the noise and the excitement of the fans.
