Originally opened in 1977, the MAC received a major renovation in 2021, rotating the court, 90 degrees, adding new seats, video scoreboards and a new playing surface. Said surface was named the Owen McCormick Court after a major contributor to the capital campaign,[2] and said renovations were instrumental to the Lakers athletic program's impending move up to NCAA Division I.[3]
