Comcast Center (aka "The House Gary Built") is the arena for the University of Maryland Terrapins men’s and women's basketball teams. Comcast Center replaced Cole Field House, which had served as the home of Maryland basketball since 1955. The 2.5 year construction project was completed in October 2002 at a cost of $125 million.</br>
In addition to the main basketball court, Comcast Center also features a 1500-seat gymnasium for volleyball, gymnastics and wrestling; an academic support center; a 400-seat banquet hall; and the offices of the athletics department. Inside the lobby on the east side of the facility is the Terrapin Walk of Fame and History, featuring many images of the past of Maryland athletics as well as the 2002 men’s national championship trophy and the 2006 women’s national championship trophy.
