T.M. Elmore Gymnasium is a 6,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Normal, Alabama. It is home to the Alabama A&M University Bulldogs basketball team and is informally known as "The Dog House".[1] The venue is also the site for special events, such as the International Student Association's annual Food and Culture Fair.
In February 1996, Elmore Gymnasium was ranked the "fourth-toughest place to play" in NCAA Division II basketball by Division II Bulletin. The three venues ranked ahead of it were Althouse Hall at Philadelphia Textile, the Sportscenter at Kentucky Wesleyan College, and the DakotaDome at the University of South Dakota.[2]
