History

Initially named the Hulman Civic University Center, the facility opened on December 14, 1973. Funded by donations and bond issues after an initial $2.5 million challenge gift from philanthropist Tony Hulman, the patriarch of the local Hulman family, it is home to the Indiana State Sycamores men's basketball team.

The Hulman Center has hosted many concerts in its history, including Elvis Presley (1975), Van Halen (1980), Frank Sinatra (1978), Johnny Carson, Kiss, (1977) and John Denver (1978).

It has served as the site of several NCAA championship events including the 1974 Midwest Region of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, the NCAA men's gymnastics finals, and the 1979 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament title game.

Music acts that have performed at the Hulman Center include: Neil Diamond in 1971, Loretta Lynn in 1975, Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1976, Alice Cooper in 1977, Bob Seger in 1978, REO Speedwagon in 1982, Journey in 1983, John Mellencamp in 1987, Motley Crue in 1990, Sponge in 1995, Shania Twain in 1998, Rascal Flatts in 2004, Jason Aldean in 2010, Sheryl Crow in 2013, Cheap Trick in 2015 and Aaron Lewis in 2018.

From 2018 to 2020, Indiana State University undertook a $50M renovation of Hulman Center.
