Since the Sam M. Vadalabene Center opened in 1984, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville athletics have enjoyed great success at home.
The facility lends itself to the students, faculty, staff and alumni of SIUE for the purposes of education, health, recreation and wellness. Along with basketball, the Vadalabene Center serves as a host site for SIUE volleyball and wrestling as well as the indoor practice facility for softball and baseball.
The Vadalabene Center also has become the site of numerous events, including the Illinois High School Association Class AA basketball sectionals, the Prairie State Games and the State Games of America. It also is the site for SIUE graduation exercises.
Offering excellent educational programs, enthusiastic faculty and being a critical and functional part of SIUE's campus, the Vadalabene Center is another example of the University's commitment to its students and the community.
