The women's volleyball team and men's wrestling team use Van Dyne Gym as their main venue.{{cite web|title=Van Dyne Gym|publisher=cbulancers.com|url=https://cbulancers.com/sports/2014/8/5/GEN_0805140347.aspx?id=42|accessdate=February 20, 2019}}

In addition to athletic events, the arena also hosts CBU's chapel program, student orientation activities and commencement ceremonies.

In February 2023 the arena was re-named in honor of Dale E. Fowler and his wife Sarah Ann Fowler in recognition of the couple's $28.5 million donation to the university.{{Cite web |title=Facilities |url=https://cbulancers.com/facilities/dale-e-and-sarah-ann-fowler-events-center/41 |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=CBU Athletics |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2023-02-27 |title=California Baptist University Receives Historic $28.5 Million Gift |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230227005327/en/California-Baptist-University-Receives-Historic-28.5-Million-Gift |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=www.businesswire.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2023-02-28 |title=California Baptist University gets $28.5 million donation — biggest ever |url=https://www.pressenterprise.com/2023/02/27/california-baptist-university-gets-28-5-million-donation-biggest-ever/ |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=Press Enterprise |language=en-US}}
