McDougald–McLendon Arena is a 3,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Durham, North Carolina. Opened in 1950, it is home to the North Carolina Central University Eagles basketball and volleyball teams.[1]

The arena is named for NCCU alumnus and civic leader Richard L. McDougald and former coach John McLendon. McDougald was instrumental in helping blacks achieve home ownership in Durham in the mid-20th century,[2] while McLendon helped organize "The Secret Game" between then named North Carolina College and Duke University Medical School in 1944, which was the first fully integrated college basketball game.
