APG Federal Credit Union Arena, originally known as the Susquehanna Center, is an indoor arena currently under construction at Harford Community College in Bel Air, Maryland. Upon completion in late 2012, it will host indoor sports for HCC's Fighting Owls programs, community and regional events, commencements, concerts, special events, student services, fundraising activities, meetings, conferences and trade shows.[1] Capacity for sports events has been listed at 2,552, with up to 3,400 seats for indoor floor events such as concerts.

The original Susquehanna Center was a 49,150 ft² indoor athletic complex featuring a multi-purpose gymnasium, fitness center, dance studio, 25-yard swimming pool with grandstand, locker rooms, and offices for Harford sports. It was gutted in Summer 2011 to make way for extensive renovations and the construction of the new arena. Total size of the finished facility with arena will be 86,610ft²; a groundbreaking ceremony for the new facility was held on August 23rd, 2011.[2]

On February 27th, 2012, it was announced that APG Federal Credit Union had bought the naming rights for the facility for $50,000 annually over 15 years.
