-===== William D. Sexton Arena =====
+===== Sojka Pavilion =====
-Sexton Arena has been the home of Johnnie Basketball since December 1973. Located within the general athletics building known as the Warner Palaestra, Sexton Arena has seen its fair share of intense basketball action. A renovation of the Warner Palaestra in 1997 included a new wood floor and a dedication of the arena to SJU Alumni and basketball standout William D. Sexton ’55, whose gift made the renovation possible. In November 2008, Jim and Adrienne Smith Court was dedicated.
+Four-thousand seat Sojka Pavilion is the home of the Bucknell men's and women's basketball teams. The building opened Jan. 15, 2003 with a basketball doubleheader against Lehigh.
-The 2009-10 season will be the 37th in Sexton Arena and the 107th of Saint John’s basketball. The Johnnies hold a 326-106 (.755) all-time record at Sexton Arena, and from 1978 to 1980, won 24 consecutive home games. In fact, Saint John’s has never lost to Saint Mary’s University in Sexton Arena (35-0). In the 36 years that the Johnnies have been playing in Sexton Arena, they have only had two losing seasons at home (2003-04 and 2004-2005).
+The building was dedicated in honor of Dr. Gary A. Sojka, former president of Bucknell University and a current faculty member in the biology department. Sojka oversaw Bucknell's highly successful move into the Patriot League in the mid-1980s. He is also a former NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative at the university.
-The first game played in Sexton Arena occurred on December 9, 1973. The Johnnies took defeated crosstown rival St. Cloud State University, 67-58.
+Sojka Pavilion represented the final major piece of Bucknell's state-of-the-art Recreation and Athletics Center when it opened in 2003. In use since the fall of that year was the Krebs Fitness Center and Kinney Natatorium, as well as the new sports medicine center and administrative and coaches' offices.
+The pavilion includes "walk-down" access and unobstructed views of the playing surface from all seating areas. Many of the 4,000 seats are fixed in place, while others are retractable to allow for an expandable open floor area with sufficient space for three regulation basketball courts for recreational use as well as varsity practice. The facility also features concession areas, ticket windows, restrooms, handicapped seating, team and officials locker rooms, a media room and other meeting areas.
+Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials, and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events.
