The Broadview Center, formerly known as the SEFCU Arena, is a 3,800-seat[2] multi-purpose arena in Guilderland, New York.[3] It is home to the University at Albany men's and women's Great Danes basketball teams. It is most notable for hosting the 2006 America East Conference men's basketball tournament championship, in which the Great Danes defeated Vermont, to earn their first bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. The arena additionally hosted the 2009 America East men's basketball tournament, and is also a venue for the university's graduate commencement ceremonies. It can also can be formatted as a concert venue or to accommodate trade shows and conventions.

The arena opened in 1992, as the Recreation and Convocation Center (RACC), as part of UAlbany's transition from Division IIItoDivision I. The name of SEFCU Arena was adopted on November 1, 2006, when UAlbany entered a 10-year naming rights deal with the State Employees Federal Credit Union.[4] SEFCU Arena is located behind the Physical Education building, which separates it from University Field, and sits adjacent to Bob Ford Field.

Broadview was formed in 2022, when SEFCU and CAP COM merged. In 2022 it was announced the arena would be receiving $12 million in renovations and upgrades that was scheduled to be completed by November 2023. As part of Broadview Federal Credit Union's rebranding effort and the University at Albany's renovation, the credit union and university announced that SEFCU Arena would be known as the Broadview Center.[5]
