Opening in 2009 after an extensive renovation to Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, Hagan Arena provides new and updated amenities for fans and student-athletes alike while maintaining the distinct home court advantage the Hawks enjoyed at the Fieldhouse.

Hagan Arena was officially dedicated on October 17, 2009, and hosted its inaugural game on November 13 of that year as the men's team topped local rival Drexel, 77-67, in overtime. Eight days later, the women's team won its Hagan Arena debut as well, routing UMBC, 77-55.

Since it opened in 2009, Hagan Arena has seen its share of big games, including the women's team's upset of fifth-ranked Maryland on November 17, 2012 and hosting duties during both the 2024 and 2025 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament. The men's team has brought its Big 5 home games to campus as well; the first installment of the vaunted rivalry between Saint Joseph's and Villanova to be played on Hawk Hill was a 74-58 SJU victory at Hagan Arena on December 17, 2011.  Hagan Arena has also served as the home of the Philadelphia Freedoms of World Team Tennis as well as various University events, including Commencement.
