The 15,020-seat arena opened in 1999 and is home to the Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball, Texas Tech Lady Raiders basketball and Texas Tech Red Raiders women's volleyball teams. United Supermarkets, a Lubbock based supermarket chain with numerous stores in West Texas and North Texas, was a major financial contributor and was granted naming rights to the building. Prior to the building of the arena, the teams played in the nearby City Bank Coliseum.
