Opened in 1950, the 60-year-old Canton Memorial Field House is home to the McKinley basketball and volleyball teams.
Located at the site of McKinley High School, Fawcett Stadium, and the CT Branin Natatorium, the Field House boasts a seating capacity of 4,800.
Home to all Canton City School basketball teams (McKinley, Timken, Lehman, Lincoln) the facility has an unmatched tradition in Ohio basketball.
Five state championship teams have played here (one girls team and three boys teams from McKinley, one from Lehman). The Field House has also hosted countless OHSAA tournament games, concerts, and community events.
A string of renovations during 2003 and 2004 ushered in a new parquet floor, new lighting, displays honoring Canton City’s basketball tradition, new paint, new seating everywhere in the arena, new baskets, new scoreboards, and new message displays. These projects helped keep the Field House a proud Canton landmark.
As the venerable arena soon enters its seventh decade of use, it continues to be at the very heart of athletics in Canton, Ohio.
