John M. Belk Arena

The college basketball gym where Steph Curry played

A small college gym by Division I standards — capacity 5,200 — but for basketball fans, a pilgrimage site. Stephen Curry played here for three seasons (2006-2009) and led Davidson to a remarkable Elite Eight run in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. His jersey hangs from the rafters, his old practice jersey is in a glass case, and the bench he sat on is preserved.

When the Wildcats play at home, the Belk turns electric. Tickets are easy to come by for most games — a great evening if you are passing through.
