The Arlin R. Horton Sports Center, or Sports Center, is a 216,000+ sq. ft.[1] basketball arena, fitness center, and leisure center located in Pensacola, Florida, on the campus of Pensacola Christian College. The venue opened in February 1993 and has been the home of the PCC Eagles men's basketball since its opening, women's volleyball since 1994, women's basketball since 2008, and the former home of the now-defunct men's wrestling team.[2][3][4] All teams are members of the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA). The arena has 3,196 seats, a capacity larger than sixty NCAA Division I basketball venues. It is named after Arlin Horton, co-founder of Pensacola Christian College.[5]

The arena is a two-story symmetrical structure with blue, dark blue, and sky-blue chair-back seats. The second-story deck is separated by glass wall panels and includes a running track.[6] All four corners of the arena have banners dedicating the four intercollegiate sports teams at PCC, including men's soccer, listing their accolades.

Also inside the Sports Center are fitness and leisure facilities. These include: a bowling alley, ice skating rink, rock climbing walls, mini-golf course, water park, and two snack bars.[3][6][7]

The Sports Center opened in 1993, replacing the 2,000-seat John Ray Hall Field House for men's basketball;[8] the latter is still in use as of 2023 for intramural sports.[5] The first men's basketball game at the arena took place on November 12, 1993, who lost to Emmanuel College-Georgia, 99–95.[9] The Eagles' first win in the arena came seven days later in an 80–78 victory over Southeastern University.[10] The Sports Center housed the only indoor ice-skating rink in Pensacola until 1996 when the Pensacola Ice Pilots began play at the Pensacola Bay Center (formerly the Pensacola Civic Center).[11][12] The basketball arena temporarily served as overflow for chapel services until 2002 when PCC opened up the 6,300-seat Crowne Center auditorium.[13]

A 60,000 sq. ft.[14] expansion was completed in 2008 by Hewes & Company, LLC, which added rock climbing walls, a water park facility (including a FlowRider), roller-skating track, and a sun deck.[15][16]

In 2015, collegerank.net ranked the Pensacola Christian College water park as #1 in "The 30 Best College Pools" category.[17]
