The University Sports Complex or The Den is a 500-seat multi-purpose arena in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, on the campus of Loyola University New Orleans.[1] It was formerly called the Recreational Sports Complex or Rec Plex. The facility opened in 1987 and was paid for with a donation from Freeport-McMoRan. It went through a 1.5 million renovation in 2017 paid for by a donation and naming rights deal with First NBC Bank.[2][3] The complex is located on the fifth and sixth floors of the Freret Street parking garage structure. The site was the former location of the Loyola Field House.
