Mercyhurst Athletic Center

The Mercyhurst Athletic Center (often nicknamed The MAC) is a multi-purpose arena in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. It is home to the Mercyhurst Lakers 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, and said renovations were instrumental to the Lakers athletic program's impending move up to NCAA Division I.
