The Elma Roane Fieldhouse is a 2,565-seat arena in Memphis, Tennessee. It is the home of the University of Memphis Tigers women's basketball and volleyball teams. Prior to the Mid-South Coliseum opening in 1966, it was also home to the men's basketball team as well. The arena opened in 1951 and is named after Elma Roane, a former coach and administrator of the Tigers women's teams who helped return women's sports to varsity status in 1972–73. The arena was dedicated to Elma Neale Roane in 1993.
