Maryland's new home for Terrapin Athletics was completed in the fall of 2002 and has already provided a season of toppled attendance records and memories on the hardwood. Comcast Center provides a seating capacity of 17,950 fans for basketball, and serves as a campus site for university special events and select community events.

The Terrapins' first public basketball event was its 2002 Midnight Madness celebration, which has grown to one of the premiere student events of the academic year. In its first season, 281,057 fans were on hand to witness Terrapin basketball games for a per-game average of 17,566 as the Terrapins finished fifth in the nation. The Terps went on to finish fifth in the nation once again in 2003-04, with a school-record 287,200 spectators packing the arena for 16 full sellouts and a capacity per-game average of 17,950. Maryland drew 299,391 fans to Comcast Center during the 2004-05 season, again setting a school record. The Terps finished eighth in home attendance last season and have a five-year average of 17,200.

The honored jersey numbers of 15 of the greatest men's basketball players in school history, as well as banners commemorating the 2002 national championship and the 2002 National Coach of the Year Gary Williams, hang high above the court in Comcast Center's rafters. The 2004 ACC Tournament Championship banner was added three years ago.

Twenty suites provide enhanced viewing and entertainment capabilities for Maryland fans. Maryland's student seating capacity accommodates 4,000, with students ringing the first 10 rows around the floor and a majority of seats on the arena's west wall - which at an intimidating 35-degree incline provides the Terrapins' with a unique home-court advantage.

Comcast Center houses the university's athletics administration offices and includes a 7,000-square-foot Academic Support Center, providing an enhanced study atmosphere for the school's nearly 750 student-athletes on 27 teams. An additional 1,500-seat gymnasium serves as home to the Terps' volleyball, gymnastics, and wrestling teams, and Spring Heritage Hall multi-purpose room is equipped to host banquets, press conferences, meetings, and serve as a pregame restaurant suite overlooking the competition arena.

Comcast Center is an excellent place for alumni and fans to enjoy their favorite sports and share in their common Terrapin spirit. Visitors can learn about the men and women who have forged the Maryland Athletics program among the nation's elite as they stroll through the Terrapin Walk of Fame and History. The Terrapin Team Store, located just off the soaring three-level atrium lobby, allows visitors to outfit their pride.
