Insight Credit Union Arena at J. Ollie Edmunds Center

A Winning Tradition Since 1974

The Edmunds Center opened its doors on Dec. 5, 1974, when Stetson Men's Basketball defeated Marshall, 73-58. That victory launched an extraordinary beginning for the new arena.

The Hatters finished a perfect 16-0 at home during the facility's inaugural season and won the first 20 games ever played at the Edmunds Center, immediately establishing the venue as a formidable home court.

A New Era

2025-26 Edmunds Center Renovation

The Edmunds Center received a significant modernization during 2025-26, updating the building's primary fan, student-athlete and administrative spaces while preserving the character of one of Stetson Athletics' most recognizable venues.

Celebrating Hatter Excellence

Champions Walkway

One of the signature additions from the 2025-26 renovation is the Champions Walkway, a dedicated space celebrating recent championship teams and individual achievements throughout Stetson Athletics. The walkway connects the facility's modernized interior with the tradition and success of generations of Hatters.

Continued Facility Development

Maintaining a first-class athletic facility is a continual process, and the Edmunds Center has undergone numerous improvements throughout its history to keep pace with the growth of Stetson Athletics.

New video boards and LED scorer's tables were installed prior to the 2019-20 season. Bench and press-row seating were upgraded during the same year, while courtside seating was also added. New arena lighting followed during the summer of 2020.
