mott athletics center The Home of the Mustangs ‘Mott Mania’ and ‘The Asylum!’ uilt in 1960, Mott Athletics Center is home to the Cal Poly men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs. In the fall of 1998, the MAC was upgraded with chairback seats replacing the original wooden bleachers. New seats were installed behind both backboards in 1998, giving the MAC an arena feel to it. A new floor was installed in 2011 and repainted in the summer of 2014. Videoboards were installed prior to the B2014-15 basketball season. Named after Robert A. Mott, a physical educa - tion faculty member and department head from 1946-78, Mott Athletics Center houses the athletic department offices, athletic training and strength and conditioning rooms. While working at Cal Poly, Mott also was the coach of the Mustangs baseball and men’s basketball teams before he was named Physical Education Department head after World War II. Cal Poly hosted the 1969 NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships, capturing the second of seven straight team titles. The 1968-69 team was led by national champions Terry Hall, John Woods, Ken Bos and Tom Kline. In 2005, Mott Athletics Center hosted the Pac-12 Wrestling Championships. Teams, officials and fans from Arizona State, Boise State, Oregon, UC Davis, Cal Poly, Oregon State, CSU Bakersfield, Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Portland State flocked to the MAC with the total attendance for the two-day event reaching 7,738. The Mustangs finished the meet in fourth place and crowned one individual champion, Vic Moreno at 125 pounds. In 1995, the Golden State Warriors held their preseason camp in Mott Athletics Center. Chris Mullin, Latrell Sprewell, B.J. Armstrong and No. 1 pick Joe Smith put on a show during an open practice to the public, drawing a standing-room-only crowd of over 4,000. Two years later, the Sacramento Kings conducted their camp at Cal Poly, opening the doors to the public for an intrasquad scrimmage to climax the one-week camp. Mott Athletics Center has been home to numerous NCAA playoffs — most recently the first and second rounds of the 2006 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship with sellout crowds each night -- and championships over the years, as well as hosting various concerts, exhibitions and sporting events. Names like Eddie Money, The Pretenders, The Doors, Ike and Tina Turner, the Los Angeles Lakers and Bill Cosby are just a few of the names that have per - formed inside the Mott Athletics Center. In 1980, the men’s basketball team hosted New Hampshire College in a Division II NCAA Championship quarterfinal. The 1998-99 season marked the first nationally televised game inside Mott Athletics Center as ESPN2 carried the Cal Poly vs. Idaho game. Other men’s basketball games have been televised by Fox Sports and KSBY-TV before capacity crowds CBS Sports Network televised a neutral-court men’s basketball game between Saint Mary’s and San Diego State in December 2020. 2020 21 Cal Poly W-restling 2020-21 Schedule Quick Facts Date Opponent Time Location . .San Luis Obispo, CA 93407-0388 Founded . .1901 Jan. 3 Fresno State . .12 noon Enrollment . .21,242 (Fall 2019) Jan. 3 Utah Valley . .2 p.m. President . .Jeffrey D.
