McLeod Center (The MC) is a 7,018-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa, currently housing the school's teams in men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, and wrestling. The arena opened November 18, 2006 with a volleyball game against Bradley. The other three UNI teams made their debuts in the facility over the next three days—men's basketball versus Milwaukee on November 19, women's basketball against Iowa State on November 20, and wrestling versus Iowa on November 21.
The McLeod Center replaced the UNI-Dome as the home of the school's basketball teams and West Gymnasium as the home of the volleyball and wrestling teams. The McLeod Center is located on the west end of the campus, directly south of the UNIDome and connected by a covered walkway.
