HISTORIC WEST GYM

Former home of the
Panther Wrestling Club RTC

Formally nestled in the heart of UNI's picturesque campus was the West Gymnasium - a place like none other.

Built in 1925 for a mere $180,000, the West Gym was an intimidating place for opposing teams to compete. With an intimate seating capacity of 2,100, the West Gym not only filled up quickly - it got very, very loud.

The Panthers won a national title in 1950 when UNI hosted the NCAA Division I National Wrestling Championships in the West Gym.
