SECU Arena (formerly TU Arena) is a 5,200-seat multi-purpose arena on the Towson University campus in Towson, Maryland, United States. The arena was completed and opened in 2013, and now hosts the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the volleyball and gymnastics teams.^[3] It replaced the Towson Center, which had been in use since 1976. The arena has 340 club seats, four private suites and 104 courtside seats.

In addition to being the home of several Towson sports teams, the arena also serves several other functions. It has been used as a concert arena for artists. Since opening, the arena has been host to an annual performance by the Harlem Globetrotters. Additionally, both the university and local Baltimore County high schools use the facility for their commencement ceremonies.

In 2017, the Baltimore Blast of the Major Arena Soccer League moved to the arena after 37 years at CFG Bank Arena.
