UNF Arena is a 5,800-seat multi-purpose arena located on the campus of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. It is home to the North Florida Ospreys men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams. It was the home of the Jacksonville JAM and Orlando Magic training camp.

In addition, UNF Arena is also used for other events, including concerts and graduation ceremonies. It can seat up to 6,300 for concerts.

In 2004 the Arena was used by the U.S. Men's and Womans Olympic teams.[2]
