The new Jim Wink Arena in the FSU Sports and Convocation Complex became the home ofthe Ferris State University men’s and womens’ basketball programs on Nov. 30, 1999. The 2,400-seat arena replaced Old Wink Arena, which had housed the men’s basketball team since the1963-64 campaign. The Bulldog men’s and women’s teams are presently midst their sixth seasonof action in the facility.

The need for a new court became necessary after plans were revealed to remodel Old Wink Arena and theremainder of the Health and Physical Education (HPE) Building. The project, which resulted in the state-of-the-artStudent Recreation Center, began immediately following the completion of the 1997-98 basketball season.

Ferris State was without a home basketball court in 1998-99 as construction continued on its new arena, forcingthe Bulldogs to play their home games at Big Rapids High School. Construction on the new facility began in July1998 when Granger Construction broke ground on the project, and was completed in September 1999.

The basketball programs moved into an arena that includes locker rooms, athletic training facilities and equip-ment rooms. In addition to standard bleachers, 350 luxury chair-back seats were installed on the North side of thecourt. The expanded lobby area between Wink Arena and Ewigleben Ice Arena includes restrooms, concessionstands, a ticket office and pro shop.

The arena is named after legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Wink. Wink, who passed away Aug. 26, 1987, won ateam-record 326 games while coaching the men’s program from 1959-81 and was inducted into the Bulldog AthleticsHall of Fame in 2000.
