Selland Arena is a multi-purpose arena built in 1966 that makes up part of a four-venue complex of the Fresno Convention and Entertainment Center in Fresno, California. It is named after former Fresno mayor Arthur L. Selland and has had over 10 million people walk through its doors in its over 40-year history. The arena originally had a 6,582 seating capacity, but a US$10 million expansion project in 1981 increased the seating to its current capacity of 10,132. Before the 1997-1998 Fresno State basketball season, capacity was increased to 10,220. The Selland Arena underwent an additional $15 million renovation in November 2006, that included the installation of new seats, a new video replay scoreboard, message boards and a new ice-cooling system for hockey games.

Currently, the arena is operated by SMG under contract from the City of Fresno.

Tenants

The arena was home to the Fresno Monsters Tier II Jr. A & Tier III Jr. A ice hockey teams of the North American Hockey League and Western States Hockey League. On January 27, 2010, the Fresno Monsters hockey team agreed to a contract extension, to play at the arena, through the 2012–13 hockey season. The arena hosted 32 home games, combined with the North American Hockey League and Western States Hockey League teams, during the 2012–13 hockey season. After the 2012–13 season, the NAHL Monsters' franchise was relocated to Wenatchee, Washington to take the place of the original Wenatchee Wild and the Tier III WSHL Monsters returned to playing full-time at the lower capacity Gateway Ice Center.

Notable events

Selland Arena has hosted concerts, conventions, ice shows, youth sports, professional sports, motocross, rodeo, religious events, graduations, and community events.

Notable events that have taken place at the arena include: the tour opening July 19, 1974 Grateful Dead show, WWF Royal Rumble 1996, Fully Loaded 1998, concerts by many major rock and popular music groups and talents, including Deep Purple, Yes, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Metallica, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, ABBA, and Garth Brooks.

Van Halen performed, on two consecutive nights, during their For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour on May 14–15, 1992, which were recorded and later released as a live album, entitled Live: Right Here, Right Now.

It also has hosted the California Interscholastic Federation Central Section Basketball Finals since 2004.

California Future Farmers of America Association hosted its annual State Conference. The last conference was hosted in April 2017. The leadership conference was moved to Anaheim Convention Center for the years 2018 and 2019, and to Sacramento for the years 2020 and 2021, as Selland Arena was too small for it to keep hosting the annual conference.
