About the Business
Jim Wink Arena, located at 210 Sports Drive in Big Rapids, Michigan, United States, is a state-of-the-art facility that serves as the home of the Ferris State University men's and women's basketball programs. The arena, which opened on November 30, 1999, replaced the old Wink Arena and features a seating capacity of 2,400.
The construction of the new arena was necessary due to plans to remodel the old Wink Arena and the Health and Physical Education (HPE) Building. The project also included the construction of the Student Recreation Center. The arena includes locker rooms, athletic training facilities, equipment rooms, and 350 luxury chair-back seats on the North side of the court.
Named after legendary men's basketball coach Jim Wink, who coached the team from 1959-1981, the arena pays tribute to his legacy. Wink, who won a team-record 326 games and led the Bulldogs to five NAIA Tournament appearances and two GLIAC Championships, was inducted into the Bulldog Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000.
In addition to basketball games, the arena hosts various events and activities for the Ferris State University community. The facility underwent a floor refinish and appearance upgrade in 2009 to reflect the university's colors. Jim Wink Arena continues to be a hub of athletic excellence and a source of pride for the university and its supporters.
