It is home to the Cornell Big Red basketball and volleyball teams. It also holds the home of Cornell wrestling for larger events.

Newman, Class of 1912, a major benefactor to the university.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cornellbigred.com/sports/2007/7/30/NewmanArena.aspx?id=30|title=Cornell University - Newman Arena|website=www.cornellbigred.com|language=en|access-date=2017-08-29}}
