Allen Arena is an indoor arena at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. The arena was named in honor of James C. and Linda Allen, the facility’s primary benefactors. James Allen is a member of the board of trustees for the university and worked for the university at one time. The Allen Arena is a very versatile facility, and other than hosting athletic events and on campus convocations, the arena hosts many events such as dinners, concerts, area-wide worship services, and graduations (the university and Nashville surrounding high schools). Besides being the home of Lipscomb sports teams (the “Bisons”), it served as the home of the now-defunct Nashville franchise, the Nashville Rhythm, in the revived American Basketball Association.
