The Mercyhurst Athletic Center (often nicknamed The MAC) is a multi-purpose arena in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. It is home to the University of West Georgia Wolves men's and women's basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams.
Originally opened in 1977, the MAC received a major renovation in 2021, rotating the court, 90 degrees, adding new seats, video scoreboards and a new playing surface. Said surface was named the Owen McCormick Court after a major contributor to the capital campaign,[2] and said renovations were instrumental to the Lakers athletic program's impending move up to NCAA Division I.[3]
