Mullins Center The William D. Mullins Memorial Center , also known as the Mullins Center , is a 9,493-seat multi-purpose arena , located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts , in Amherst, Massachusetts . The Mullins Center is the home of UMass Minutemen men's basketball , women's basketball, and men's ice hockey . In addition, the venue hosts numerous concerts, family shows, theater shows, and commencements annually. Located adjacent to the Mullins Center is the Mullins Community Ice Rink, which is open for public skating and racquetball, while also serving as the home rink for the UMass women's ice hockey team. In 1985, William D. Mullins, a state representative from Ludlow , suggested that the university needed a multipurpose arena and convocation center to help expand the athletic program and assist in the university's growth. He died in 1986, but the state went ahead with the building of the complex, naming it for him. It replaced the Curry Hicks Cage , the 1930s-era basketball gymnasium, as home of the Minutemen basketball teams. In addition, it allowed the hockey team, which had been downgraded to club status since the late 1970s, to be elevated to Division I status. The Mullins Center is managed by Global Spectrum , which manages over 70 different event arenas throughout the United States.Concerts and events The Mullins Center has hosted many performances over the years, including:Musical ;Metallica ;Aerosmith ;Elton John ;Phish April 16, 1994 November 2, 1994 December 4, 1995 December 5, 1995 October 23, 2010 October 24, 2010 ;Pansy Division ;Green Day ;Indigo Girls ;K's Choice ;Live March 11, 1995 November 13, 1997 ;Barry Manilow ;Alanis Morissette February 4, 1996 February 11, 1999 ;311 September 13, 1996 November 24, 1997 November 19, 2005 ;Dave Matthews Band ;The Black Crows ;Smashing Pumpkins ;Fountains of Wayne ;Stone Temple Pilots ;Cheap Trick ;Ani DiFranco ;Matchbox 20 April 7, 1998 September 22, 2000 ;Korn ;Incubus November 6, 1998 May 14, 2002 ;Tori Amos ;Soul Coughing ;Bob Dylan February 24, 1999 November 18, 1999 November 20, 2004 November 15, 2006 November 19, 2010 ;The Mighty Mighty Bosstones ;The Goo, Goo, Girls ;Luscious Jackson ;Foo Fighters ;Muse ;Red Hot Chili Peppers ;Creed ;Sevendust ;U.P.O ;The Jayhawks ;Barenaked Ladies February 16, 2001 October 24, 2006 ;String Cheese Incident ;Widespread Panic ;Udo Lindenberg ;Counting Crows ;Tool ;John Mayer November 23, 2002 February 26, 2006 February 26, 2007 ;Queens of the Stone Age ;French Toast ;Delirious? ;Good Charlotte ;Blake Shelton ;Neil Young ;Pixies ;My Chemical Romance ;Dropkick Murphys ;Velvet Revolver ;Alison Krauss ;Tim McGraw ;Kanye West ;Keith Urban ;Nine Inch Nails ;Black Eyed Peas ;The Roots ;The All-American Rejects ;Mike Doughty ;The Raconteurs ;Disturbed ;Flyleaf ;Nonpoint ;Stone Sour ;Amour for Sleep ;Underoath ;O.A.R April 14, 2007 November 18, 2008 ;Tim Reynolds ;OK Go ;Ben Folds ;The Suburbs ;Gym Class Heroes ;Sick Puppies ;Evanescence ;Julien-K ;Carrie Underwood February 20, 2008 March 27, 2010 ;Casting Crowns ;Jimmy Eat World ;Willie Nelson ;Lupe Fiasco ;N.E.R.D ;J.
