On Saturday, February 6, 1954, the dream of each Muhlenberg alumnus was realized when Memorial Hall, the new physical education building, was dedicated in a brief program.

In the 50-plus years since, Memorial Hall has been the site of numerous basketball games, wrestling meets, volleyball matches and concerts. With a built-in seating capacity of 3,529, Memorial Hall fosters a big-game atmosphere hard to match in Division III.

Although it is 50 years old, Memorial Hall remains a thoroughly modern facility. Recent improvements have included the addition of an overhead scoreboard and the 2004 repainting of the floor.

Memorial Hall annually hosts the Scotty Wood Tournament in basketball and the Buttermaker Tournament in volleyball. It also was the site for the 2005 Centennial Conference Wrestling Championships.
