  • The Stephen C. O'Connell Center, also known as the O'Dome, is a 12,000-seat multi-purpose arena located on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. The facility is named for Stephen C. O'Connell, the sixth president of the University of Florida from 1967 to 1973. The facility is located between the west side of football's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the east side of baseball's McKethan Stadium. The arena opened in 1980, but problems with the inflatable, Teflon-coated fabric roof required replacement with a permanent, hard shell dome on top of the structure in 1998. In 2006, the university undertook an overhaul of the four scoreboards located above the entrances to Gates 1-4. Instead of displaying information and advertisements, the scoreboards are now used for live instant replays for events inside the arena. The arena, which is the fourth on-campus home of the Gators, replaced the old Florida Gymnasium, nicknamed "Alligator Alley", which was the home of the Gators for the previous 31 seasons and is still located to the east of the football stadium.
  • The Stephen C. O'Connell Center, popularmente conocido como el O-Dome es una arena con capacidad para 12.000 espectadores situado en la ciudad de Gainesville y perteneciente a la Universidad de Florida. Recibe su nombre de Stephen C. O´Connell, un antiguo presidente del estado de Florida. Fue inaugurado en 1980, aunque ha sufrido diversas renovaciones y es el escenario donde juegan sus partidos como local los Florida Gators en sus secciones de baloncesto, voleibol y atletismo entre otros, que participan en la Southeastern Conference de la NCAA universitaria. Tras la consecución de los Gators del título de campeón nacional de baloncesto masculino de la NCAA en el 2006, la Universidad de Florida compró el parqué sobre el que se había disputado la final de dicho evento que se había instalado temporalmente en el RCA Dome de Indianápolis con motivo de la final four, por lo que desde entonces los equipos de baloncesto de la universidad juegan sobre la misma superficie sobre la cual los Gators lograron dicho título. En Diciembre de 2006 se alcanzó el récord de asistencia a la arena, con 12.621 espectadores en un partido que enfrentó a los Gatoso con los Ohio State Buckeyes que terminó con victoria local por 86-60. Además de la cancha de baloncesto, el O´Connell Center también dispone de sendas piscinas (cubierta y al aire libre) donde entrena el equipo de natación de la universidad y además es usado para otros eventos de la universidad tales como ceremonias de graduación, conciertos o discursos.
