Louis Brown Athletic Center
From Hoopedia
The Louis Brown Athletic Center, more commonly known as the "RAC" (for Rutgers Athletic Center), is an 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Piscataway, New Jersey on Rutgers University's Livingston Campus.
The arena opened on November 30, 1977 with a win against rival Seton Hall. The building is shaped like a truncated tent (a design that is no longer allowed for newly built arenas), with the trapezoidal sides on the north and south. It is home to the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights basketball teams, both men's and women's.
From 1977 to 1981 it was the home of the NBA's New Jersey Nets, who were waiting for the Brendan Byrne Arena to be built.
