The OceanFirst Bank Center provides varsity athletes and coaches with meeting facilities, locker rooms, practice and competition facilities, and expanded and upgraded amenities. The OceanFirst Bank Center\u2019s most prominent feature is the 4,000 seat arena, in which Hawks\u2019 fans cheer on the Monmouth men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball programs. The arena also features a six-lane, 200-meter indoor track, which can be used for training and competition all year long.<\/p>\n<h2>Athletics Information and Schedules<\/h2>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Monmouth University Athletics on the Web: <a title=\"www.GoMUHawks.com.\" href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.MonmouthHawks.com<\/a>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 10px;\" type=\"square\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MU Men\u2019s Basketball<\/a> schedule.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 5px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MU Women\u2019s Basketball<\/a> schedule.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 5px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/mens-track-and-field\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MU Men\u2019s Track and Field<\/a> schedule.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 5px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/womens-track-and-field\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MU Women\u2019s Track and Field<\/a> schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 10px;\" type=\"disc\">\n<li><a title=\"Frequently Asked Questions\" href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/2017\/5\/5\/monmouth-university-athletics-faq-s.aspx?id=1234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> about athletic events.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 5px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monmouthhawks.com\/sports\/2017\/5\/5\/oceanfirst-bank-center-basketball-seating-chart.aspx\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seating Chart<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monmouth University ushered in a new era in the school\u2019s history with the completion and opening of the The OceanFirst Bank Center in Fall 2009.
