FAU Arena opened its doors to women's basketball in 1984. Men's basketball and volleyball became FAU Arena tenants in 1988.

The facility was recently modernized with a $9 million renovation in 2007. In the summer of 2008, further renovations were put in place, including club suites to give "The Burrow" an exciting new feel as the programs continue to grow.

Following the 2006-07 basketball season, the major renovations to FAU Arena included such upgrades as:

Exterior, including entrance overhangs and complete repainting
Chairback seating behind both baskets and the west sideline
New Scoreboard with Video Capabilities
Locker room expansion(s) and enhancements
Improved student section area on the east sideline
FAU Store in the lobby
Ticket booth outside the main entrance

The cost of total renovations was around $9 million.
