Facilities

Mack Sports Complex

On January 2, 2000 the Hofstra Basketball programs moved into the 5,046-seat Hofstra Arena, which was renamed the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex in 2006. Construction of the $15 million, 93,000 square-foot facility began in the fall of 1998 and was completed in December 1999. The Complex houses the Hofstra Men and Women's Basketball, and Wrestling teams, and also hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other special events.

“Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years, and the David S. Mack Sports Complex will serve as just the latest reminder on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club.

On October 15, 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, which was broadcast live around the world.

The David S. Mack Sports Complex includes full chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard, men's and women's locker rooms, a training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra's athletic administration and basketball staffs.


Physical Fitness Center

The Pride Volleyball team calls the Hofstra University Physical Fitness Center its home. Built in 1970, the Physical Fitness Center has established itself as a showcase for volleyball in the metropolitan area. The 800-seat arena hosted Hofstra’s NCAA Tournament first round match in 1995 and has hosted regional and national United States Volleyball Association events, including the 1983 exhibition between the United States Olympic team and the Japanese Olympic team. Hofstra's Physical Fitness Center, PFC for short, also served as the 1987 home of the New York Liberties of Major League Volleyball and as the training site for the 1989 United States Maccabiah teams. It also is the home to various high school championships.

The arena was refurbished in 1978 with a new ticket lobby and refreshment area. Access roads and ample parking are located around the building. In 1991 new scoreboards with a message center were added to the Physical Fitness Center, replacing the four-sided scoreboard that had served Long Island sports fans at the old Island Garden in Hempstead and at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, adjacent to the University. The PFC is also outfitted with multiple Senoh Systems, the finest volleyball apparatus available.

The Physical Fitness Center was resurfaced for the second time in 1995 with a wooden Thrust-A-Pad floor, which covers the entire 40,000-square-foot building and gives Hofstra the second largest indoor wooden facility on the East Coast. The floor has been placed over the old synthetic surface and adds greater flexibility, thereby decreasing the chance of leg injuries.

After the Mack Sports Complex was constructed, the PFC became a volleyball-only venue and received a new scoreboard that features space for in-match statistics to be displayed. The PFC was also decorated with banners commemorating Hofstra’s NCAA Tournament appearances and conference championships, and several volleyball illustrations, by artist Chris Bigelow, were added to the walls.  This past offseason the main court at the PFC was completely redone, including new logos painted on the floor.

The Physical Fitness Center has been home to five professional teams in its existence: The New York Nets (American Basketball Association), the New York Knicks Summer League team (National Basketball Association), the Long Island Knights and Surf (United States Basketball League) and the New York Liberties (Major League Volleyball). In addition, the Physical Fitness Center has hosted concerts, banquets, trade shows, conferences, commencement exercises and scholastic sporting events for the Long Island community.



Margiotta Hall

Opened in 1992, Margiotta Hall, a magnificent three-story, 22,500-square-foot building, is a centerpiece of the Hofstra University Lacrosse program. The state-of-the-art field house, combined with Hofstra’s 13,000-seat stadium, has created one of the finest facilities in the nation. The facility was named after Joe Margiotta ’50, a former Pride student-athlete and long-time supporter. Margiotta, who funded and served as President of the Hofstra Pride Club for more than 20 years, passed away in November 2008
   
Margiotta Hall, designed by Angelo F. Corva & Associates, features a 3,500-square-foot weight room on the first floor. The weight room, often considered the showpiece of an athletics program, is outfitted with the most advanced strength training equipment available. The first floor also contains a spacious 2,600-square-foot football locker room that accommodates more than 100 student-athletes. The locker room was the recipient of a major makeover in 2008.

The state-of-the-art athletic training room, also located on the first floor, has hydrotherapy and electrotherapy areas, cardiovascular and isokinetic equipment, as well as taping areas, a rehabilitation area, an aerobics room, and athletic trainer and physician offices. The athletic training room also was refurbished this past winter.
    
On the second floor of the building, an attractive multi-purpose room, enclosed by a glass wall, provides a panoramic view of James M. Shuart Stadium and its events. Meetings and receptions for alumni, parents and friends of the Hofstra Athletic program are held in this spacious area. This level also serves as headquarters for the Men and Women’s Lacrosse coaching staffs, housing head coaches’ and assistant coaches’ offices, as well as a meeting and film room.

The Lacrosse office was the benefit of a major renovation project in 2008.  Each office also contains the latest video equipment and flat screen televisions. The office suite also consists of a 12-seat theater with stadium seating for group film and meeting sessions, as well as a viewing room with hardwood flooring and a 50-inch flat screen TV that overlooks the field.

In 1999 an academic lab opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall. The computer room and learning center features a projection system and 18 workstations, which are connected to the University network for easy access to the Internet. Locker rooms for game officials and coaches are also located on this level. One of the newer additions to the second floor of Margiotta Hall is the Hofstra Trophy Room, which commemorates the achievements of Hofstra’s Men’s Lacrosse, Women’s Lacrosse and Field Hockey teams. Photos, trophies, plaques and other awards are on display in this area. A memorial wall containing the framed jerseys and plaques of the three Hofstra Football players killed on September 11, 2001, is also on the second floor.
   
The lower level of Margiotta Hall contains spacious locker rooms for Hofstra’s Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse teams. The recently dedicated Harry Royle-Vincent Sombrotto men’s locker room was completely renovated in the off-season, thanks to a gift from lacrosse alumnus James Metzger, and features new carpeting, oak lockers, and a lounge area. The lounge area is outfitted with a 50-inch flat screen television, the latest video game systems and state-of-the-art video equipment. 

Additional equipment, laundry and storage space can be found in the lower level of Margiotta Hall. A 178-seat theater and additional meeting rooms are also located there.
   
The lobby of Margiotta Hall contains an elegant commemorative plaque honoring donors who have contributed to this important addition to the Hofstra University campus. Those endowing scholarships and those who have dedicated a room in Margiotta Hall are also honored on the plaque.
