Illinois has an outstanding home in State Farm Center. Known as Assembly Hall from its construction in 1963 to 2013, the iconic arena was renamed State Farm Center on April 29, 2013, with the announcement of a 30-year, $60 million naming rights agreement. State Farm Center underwent a complete renovation from 2014-16, dubbed the Illinois Renaissance. The $169.5-million project included a renovated seating bowl; the addition of four levels of premium seating; improved restrooms and concessions; a team hall of fame; air conditioning and many other amenities. Construction occured around each Fighting Illini basketball season, with the project completed in the fall of 2016.

The historic building opened on March 2, 1963, and continues to attract attention for its design and construction. Four hundred feet across, it at one time was one of only two edge-supported domes in the world. The roof is supported by 614 miles of one-quarter inch steel wire wrapped at the base of the dome under intensive pressure. The architect was Max Abramovitz, a distinguished University of Illinois alumnus.

Illinois opened play at State Farm Center on March 4, 1963, with a 79-73 victory over Northwestern. Since that first game, the Illini have accumulated a610-175 (.777) record. Illinois has sold out a total of 259 games at State Farm Center and has ranked in the top 25 nationally in home attendance 38 of the last 40 years. Fans help turn State Farm Center into a sea of orange for every Illini home game, with practically every person in attendance proudly wearing orange. That, com- bined with the Orange Krush student cheering section surrounding the court, gives the Illini one of the best home court advantages in the country.

Seating capacity for Fighting Illini basketball following State Farm Center renovations is 15,544.
