Heiges Field House is the home court of Shippensburg Universty’s volleyball and men's and women's basketball teams. It also serves as the home for the wrestling and men's and women's swimming teams.
Five years ago, Shippensburg made extensive renovations to the facility that included a new floor and bleachers.
When constructed in 1971, Heiges Field House was the second largest wooden-domed structure in the world.
Besides the main arena, the field house contains offices, equipment rooms, a wrestling room, weight room, four handball courts, a weight-training fitness center an a natatorium with a six-lane, 25-yard pool and electronic timing.
Heiges is also used for high school basketball tournament games, concerts and is the site of the PIAA state gymnastics championships.
The largest crowd for any athletic event at Heiges was 4,500 for the United States-Soviet Union wrestling meet held March 31, 1982.
In 1980, the first volleyball team to represent Shippensburg University took the court at Heiges Field House.
