The arena opened in 1992 as the Recreation and Convocation Center, popularly known as "The RACC", in anticipation of UAlbany's move from Division III to Division I. The current name of SEFCU Arena was adopted on November 1, 2006 when UAlbany entered a 10-year naming rights deal with [http://www.sefcu.com SEFCU] , a federal credit union.
