THE HUMAN PERFORMANCE CENTER
Located on the corner of Leon. C. Simon and Elysian
Fields Avenue the Human Performance Center has a
long and storied history with Privateers Athletics.
OriginallyknownasthePhysicalEducationbuilding,
thegymearnedthenickname“TheChamberofHor-
rors”duetothecloseproximityandrowdinessofthe
fans during the early days of Privateers basketball
when battles with local rivals Tulane, and Xavier
would pack over 4,000 into the noisey wooden
bleachers.
The HPC has been the home of Privateers basketball
during two different stints, first from 1969 until the
opening of Lakefront Arena in 1983, and then from
2006 to 2008 due to repairs at Lakefront Arena fol-
lowing Hurricane Katrina.
Those same renovations would make the HPC the
home for the volleyball program as well from 2006
to 2009. Volleyball would play the 2010 season in
the Lakefront Arena Auxiliary gym, before splitting
the 2011 season between both Lakefront Arena
floors and the HPC. The volleyball program perma-
nently returned to the HPC before the 2012 cam-
paign.
The HPC seats 1,760 fans and can accommodate
three regulation volleyball courts, or one regulation
basketball court. Along with the volleyball offices
andlockerrooms,theHPCalsofeaturesadancestu-
dio and gymnastics room. Besides being the home
ofvolleyball,andbasketballinthepasttheHPCalso
housed the Privateers Athletics department, and is
currently the home of New Orleans’only profession-
al roller derby team, the Big Easy Rollergirls.
Nearly 4,000 fans watched Privateers volleyball at the
HPC in 2013.With over 350 fans per game, Privateers
Volleyball was the fourth most supported volleyball
program of Louisiana’s 15 collegiate volleyball teams.
