The Arthur Ashe Athletic Center is a 6,000 seat multi-purpose arena in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1982. It hosts local sporting events and concerts. It is named after former tennis player and Richmond resident Arthur Ashe.

In spring 2010, the Ashe Center will be temporary home to the Richmond Revolution of the Indoor Football League; the following season, the team will move into its permanent home at the currently under-construction SportsQuest arena.[1]

The venue hosted preliminary rounds of the 2000-2005 MEAC Men's Basketball Tournaments as well as the 2012 National Collegiate Open Wrestling Championship.
