Fifth Third Arena:
The Bearcats have played their home games in Fifth Third Arena since 1989. The arena is on-campus and has a capacity of 13,176. It is located in the Myrl H. Shoemaker Center, which was also the name of the arena until 2005, when it was named for Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank. It is still popularly known as "The Shoe".
Through the 2014-15 season, the Bearcats are 360-76 (.826) all-time at Fifth Third Arena, including a 42-game win streak from 1997-2000. In the 1999-2000 season, every Bearcat home game was sold out. During the Bob Huggins era, it was known as one of the most hostile arenas in the nation due to the high decibel levels typical of his tenure.
On October 31, 2014, WLWT reported that the arena could be in line for a $70 million facelift. The project would reduce the amount of seating, but improve visibility in the arena. It would also upgrade club areas, restrooms, and even add a new roof. When the project is started, it would reportedly take nearly two years, beginning in April 2016 and wrapping up in November 2017.
OVERALL: 360–76 (.826)
