Location Main Campus

Capacity 5,500

The Universiade Pavilion (Butterdome) is a 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is home to the University of Alberta Golden Bears basketball team. It was built for the 1983 Summer World University Games.

While the official name of the facility is the Universaide Pavilion, because of its rectangular shape and bright yellow exterior, locals quickly began referring to it as the Butterdome. Today, even the University of Alberta often uses this nickname to refer to this structure. [1]

The upper sections of the regular seating are permanently mounted, while the lower sections are collapseable to increase the space available on the floor. During the University Games, the capacity was increased to 11,000 using temporary bleachers.
