Concordia Irvine Athletics

Built in 1989 with a seating capacity for 2,400 people, CU Arena serves as the home court for Concordia University Irvine men's and women's basketball and volleyball games as well as stunt competitions. 

The facility was remodeled in the summer of 2023 with a new design on the court to showcase the school's new rebranding as Golden Eagles. In addition to the new Flight Club signage for the student section led by The Hunt, the court features the new talon swipe design element across center court, dark brown coloring inside the three-point line and the new "Concordia" and "Golden Eagles" striping along the baselines. In addition, two new PacWest logos were added to feature the updated dark green and gold colors of the school and the words "Defend The Nest" are featured on the main side facing the primary bleachers for fans.

Banners draped on the walls recognize the best Concordia teams to ever wear the uniform, including the 2003 & 2012 NAIA Men's Basketball National Champions and both the 2012 Women's Volleyball and 2013 Men's Volleyball NAIA National Champions.

Directly over center court hangs CUI's featured four-sided scoreboard while two end-zone scoreboards are located on each wall. The court was refurbished in 2017 with the addition of two NCAA logos after the school completed the transition from NAIA to NCAA DII. The stands were also upgraded during the transition and multiple rows feature gold seat backs for VIP directly behind the team sidelines and scorer's table. Prior to those upgrades, the gym featured wooden bleachers.

The Eagles Nest offers a privately enclosed viewing area through giant glass panes and houses special events throughout the school year.  It is located at the mezzanine level next to the headquarters for CUI Athletics.  Concessions are open and available during home athletics events, and located on the southeast portion of the facility on the second level.  Home games are also video streamed free of charge.  On the way to the concessions stand or the Eagles Nest, fans and alumni can take a trip down memory lane by checking out the timeline of CUI Athletics on the mezzanine floor, which features the trophy case. There are also mounted pictures of current CUI stars and championships teams from the past, in addition to the Kenneth A. Walker Hall of Fame.

Originally built in 1989 with the CU Arena, the current athletic training facility was added in 2002 and is located in the lower level of the gym in the southeast corner of the facility. The original athletic training facility was repurposed in 2007 as the lab instruction room for athletic training students.
