About Murray State University

The CFSB Center, originally the Regional Special Events Center, is Murray State University's multi‑purpose arena located at 1401 State Route 121 North, Murray, KY 42071. Renamed in 2010 after a generous donation, it serves as the home arena for Murray State Racers basketball and hosts concerts, trade shows, commencements, and other university events. The venue sits near the intersection of KY‑121 and US‑641, adjacent to other MSU facilities, and is a key hub for campus life and community events.
