“We moved to Division I because we are committed to strengthening the student experience, pursuing excellence in all that we do, and bringing the St. Thomas mission to a bigger stage. The Lee & Penny Anderson Arena is a major step forward in our journey from small Catholic liberal arts college to comprehensive, nationally known Catholic university.”
Rob Vischer President, University of St. Thomas
“Since 1885, St. Thomas has demonstrated commitment to excellence in all that it does, and this arena shows that same commitment to our Division I transition. Hockey and Basketball compete in some of the country’s best conferences, and this new arena will provide practice, competition, and fan experiences expected for a Division I program. Lee & Penny Anderson Arena helps St. Thomas continue its upward trajectory in athletics and as an institution.”
Dr. Phil Esten ‘95 Vice President & Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
