Mackey Arena is located in West Lafayette, Indiana. Part of the Purdue University campus, it is home to the university's basketball teams, and occasionally hosts home games for the volleyball and wrestling teams. The arena opened in 1967 as a replacement home for Purdue's basketball teams for Lambert Fieldhouse, which still exists but used for other sports.
