JIM & ADRIENNE SMITH COURT IN SEXTON ARENA
Sexton Arena has been the home of Johnnie Basketball since December 1973. Located within the general athletics building known as the Warner Palaestra, Sexton Arena has seen its fair share of intense basketball action. A renovation of the Warner Palaestra in 1997 included a new wood floor and a dedication of the arena to SJU Alumni and basketball standout William D. Sexton ’55, whose gift made the renovation possible. In November 2008, Jim and Adrienne Smith Court was dedicated.
The first game played in Sexton Arena occurred on December 9, 1973. The Johnnies took defeated crosstown rival St. Cloud State University, 67-58.
