The Earle A. & Virginia H. Chiles Center is a 4,852-seat multi-purpose arena in Portland, Oregon, USA. The arena opened in 1984. It is home to the University of Portland Pilots men's and women's basketball teams as well as the women's volleyball team. It hosted the West Coast Conference men's basketball tournament in 1992 and 2007. Starting with the 2023–2024 season, the Chiles Center hosts the Portland Trail Blazers' NBA G League team, the Rip City Remix.^[1]

History

Construction on the center began in 1983 with an endowment from the Chiles Foundation, and the new facility opened in 1984. In 2006, the school completed $1 million in upgrades to the women's locker rooms, followed by renovations of the weight room in 2008.^[2] In 2010, the scoreboard over center court was replaced with a new center-hung video system.^[2] In addition to the video system, two new basketball scoreboards were installed along with three-sided shot clocks.^[3] The school plans to continue renovations, as well as some expansion, with a $2 million project on upgrading the men's locker rooms, as well as expansions and the construction of a study center for student athletes.^[2] In 2023, the school received a further $5 million from the Chiles Foundation towards renovation and maintenance of the arena.^[4]
