During the 2000-01 season, Gallagher-Iba Arena opened with a new look, doubling in size and modernized in appearance. The arena allows an up-close view from any seat in the house, helping to give the Cowboys a tremendous home-court advantage.

Its 13,611 seating capacity allows more O-State fans to enjoy OSU athletic events including Men’s and Women’s basketball and wrestling. Originally named Gallagher Hall after OSU fabled wrestling coach Ed Gallagher, the Board of Regents honored legendary Cowboy basketball coach Henry Iba when the arena was remodeled in 1987, and his name was added to the arena title.The original white-maple floor from 1938 is the oldest court still in use. In 2005 the court was renamed Eddie Sutton court to honor Sutton’s contributions to the OSU basketball program.
