11 www.csulaathletics.com Th e Ea g l e s Ne s t The Eagles Nest is home to the Cal State L.A. basketball and volleyball teams. The arena seats 5,000 fans, with many of the seats right on top of the action. In fact, the first row of seats is just inches away from the edges of the basketball playing floor.
The retro-style of the Eagles Nest includes the ability for the arena to quickly become one of the loudest arenas in the country.
The Eagles Nest hosted some of the finest athletes in the world as the judo competition was held at CSULA during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
