SEFCU Arena is a 4,538-seat multi-purpose arena, in Guilderland, New York.^[2]

The arena opened in 1992, as the Recreation and Convocation Center, popularly known as "The RACC", in anticipation of UAlbany's move from Division III to Division I. The current name of SEFCU Arena was adopted on November 1, 2006, when UAlbany entered a 10-year naming rights deal with SEFCU, a federal credit union.^[3]

SEFCU Arena is located behind the Physical Education building, which separates it from University Field. It is most notable for hosting the 2006 America East Conference men's basketball tournament championship, in which the Great Danes defeated Vermont, to earn their first bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.

It is home to the University at Albany men's and women's Great Danes basketball teams. The arena also hosted the 2009 America East Men's Basketball Tournament, and is also the venue for the university's graduate commencement ceremonies.
