Abstract:
The Matthew Knight Arena (further referred to as "the Arena" and MKA), which opened for operations in January of 2011, has a capacity of 12,000 spectators. The Arena is home to the University of Oregon's Men's and Women's Collegiate Basketball teams, as well as host to a number of other types of spectator events. The multipurpose nature of the Arena makes for a versatile venue, allowing sports fans and community members to enjoy performances of all kinds. University of Oregon Athletics partnered with the Community Planning Workshop to conduct a second phase of monitoring of the Matthew Knight Arena. Similar to the previous year's monitoring (Phase I, 2011), three athletic events and one non-athletic event were monitored for Phase II.
