Jacksonville State's home for men's and women's basketball and volleyball is Pete Mathews Coliseum, a 5,500-seat multipurpose facility that meets the growing needs of the University and its Athletics Department. The Coliseum was opened in 1974 and underwent a complete renovation in 1987. A new wooden playing surface was installed, as were 850 cushioned, char-backed seats. The sound system, dance studio, weight room and locker rooms were also refurbished.
Pete Mathews Coliseum also houses several athletic offices, such as volleyball, men's and women's cross country and track andwomen's soccer.
Pete Mathews Coliseum is also home to the Calhoun County boys and girls basketball tournament and has previously served as the site of the Alabama High School Athletic Association Girls State Basketball Tournament. It still plays host to the AHSAA's Northeast Regional Basketball Tournament.
