ABOUTÂ
On Jan 18., 2024, FDU Athletics and Bogota Savings Bank reached a multi-year, exclusive naming rights agreement that brands the venue the Bogota Savings Bank Center.
Dedicated on Sept. 9, 1987, the Bogota Savings Bank Center – originally the George and Phyllis Rothman Center – serves as the headquarters for FDU's NCAA Division I athletic department and hosts contests in basketball, volleyball, indoor track and field and women's fencing. The arena inside the venue is named Stratis Arena.
With seating for 1,852 fans, the 40,000-square foot Bogota Savings Bank Center has hosted dignitaries such as former U.S. Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Leah Rabin, the wife of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin, esteemed poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou and in 2009, then-U.S. President Barack Obama.
Recent upgrades to the Bogota Savings Bank Center include: the Michael and Denise Clarke Strength and Conditioning Center (2022); men's basketball's updated locker room and player lounge/film room (2023); the centerpiece of Knights history, FDU's new "Champions Live Here" wall, celebrating all of FDU's championships (2023); locker rooms for women's volleyball (2020), men's volleyball (2022) and men's and women's track and field (2022) and a student-athlete mental health space (2022) and upcoming upgrades to the Stratis Lounge which overlooks the arena.
