History

The arena was completed in 1964 as a replacement for the C.K. Preus Gymnasium, which was destroyed by fire in 1961. The arena was originally known as The Fieldhouse. In addition to athletics, the arena was the home of Luther's music ensemble concerts until the completion of the Center for Faith and Life in 1978. Through 2001, Luther's performance of Handel's Messiah was held in the arena.

An addition featuring new facilities for indoor track and other sports was completed in 1991, when the building was renamed the Regents Center. Another addition, the Legends Fitness for Life Center, was completed in 2001.
