History and renovations

Titan Gym was built in 1964.[1] Twenty years later, the gym hosted handball competitions for the 1984 Summer Olympics.[2][3] Ronald Reagan spoke on behalf of the Bush/Quayle campaign in 1988, his last Orange County appearance as President of the United States.[2]

In order to combat wear and tear on Titan Gym, there have been a number of improvements made. Bleachers, which were used to seat the attendees, have been replaced with chair-back seats. The floor was completely redesigned and resurfaced. A new scoreboard was unveiled before the 2003 season and additional balcony seating was added before the start of the 2004 season.

For the CSUF athletes, Titan Gym is also the home practice facility for the basketball and volleyball programs.

The 2018 U.S. Open, a stop on the 2018 Badminton World Federation Tour, was held at the gym.[4]

Future renovation plans include an expansion of the Titan Gym entrance to include a Titans Hall of Fame as well as a reception area for social functions.

Tenants

Currently, the intercollegiate men's basketball, women's basketball and women's volleyball teams call Titan Gym home. The men's basketball team has played every season at Titan Gym since its opening in 1964.

gollark: Which eventually happened two weeks later.
gollark: Then nothing until around the start of March when it seemed possible for schools to close and such.
gollark: Apparently the first mention of coronavirus in my journal (it's computerized so I can search it very easily) was from January, and me mentioning that some teacher had been mentioning it at school.
gollark: It probably wouldn't have done me much good to have taken it seriously earlier, inasmuch as I'm not in a position to do anything about it/convince anyone else to, and the worst of the supply chain disruption everyone was hyping up was me having to have somewhat different pasta for a few days.
gollark: I think I was mostly just ignoring it and treating it as random bad background event #9372628 until march or so.
