Premier America Credit Union Arena is the indoor home for the CSUN men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams.
Premier America Credit Union Arena has an official capacity of 2,300 seats, after regaining 800 seats on the south side of the Upper Concourse with the start of the 2015-16 season, which were originally lost due to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake.
In recent years, the arena received new baskets, shot clocks, public address system, press row tables, video display boards, and a center court scoreboard. Banners in Premier America Credit Union Arena commemorate CSUN's post-season successes.
New renovations also allow for the expanded use of live video for all competitions. A new floor design was installed prior to the 2025-26 season.
The home of Matador Basketball and Volleyball was officially called Matador Gymnasium at inception, but was nicknamed The Matadome in recent years. The official name was changed to Premier America Credit Union Arena in March 2022. The Arena is located at the corner of Zelzah Avenue and Plummer Street on the CSUN campus.
In addition to CSUN athletics events, The Matadome has also hosted the 2001 Big Sky Conference Men's Basketball Tournament. The arena has also been used for numerous movie and commercial shoots, most famously serving as a setting for The Karate Kid (1984) and National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002).
The overall attendance record for a sporting event in the facility is 3,106, achieved in standing-room-only fashion on Nov. 2, 1990, when the United States defeated Japan in an international exhibition men's volleyball match.
During its first years of collegiate basketball competition, the CSUN men's basketball team played its home games at several high school gyms in the San Fernando Valley before its first home game on Nov. 30, 1962, when the Matadors hosted Pepperdine.
