T.M. Elmore Gymnasium has been the permanent home of Alabama A&M men's & women's basketball since it was built in 1974.  Over the years, the Bulldogs have made this one of the toughest places in the country for visiting teams to come away with a victory.

 

Although 25 year head coach Vann Pettaway ended his career in 2010-2011 he leaves the Bulldogs homestand at a remarkable 280-64 in Elmore Gymnasium.  On three occasions the Bulldogs have gone undefeated at home under Pettaway.  The 1988-89 squad finished 17-0 on its home floor, while the 1992-93 and 1995-96 teams finished 15-0 and 14-0, respectively.

 

The basketball team has earned a remarkable following in the community and on campus.  It is not uncommon for Bulldog fans to pack the 6,000-seat arena to near-capacity for home games.  And those fans are vocal, loudly cheering on their maroon and white to another home victory.
