History

Ahearn Field House was erected in 1951 to improve the facilities for basketball and indoor track events previously held in Nichols Hall. The fieldhouse has a capacity of 11,700, which also served well for indoor commencements (before McCain Auditorium & Bramlage Coliseum were completed), concerts, and other large events. In 1988 basketball games were moved to Bramlage Coliseum and the building was refurbished to be used for volleyball, track, tennis, and various other activities. The facility was named in honor of Michael F. Ahearn, a KSU professor, coach, Department Head of Physical Education and also Director of Athletics.
