The George V. Meehan Auditorium is a 3,059-seat hockey arena in Providence, Rhode Island. The arena opened in 1961 and was dedicated on January 6, 1962. It is named for George V. Meehan, the benefactor of the arena, which he hoped would "service and promote" the Brown hockey program. It is home to the Brown University Bears ice hockey teams, which compete in the ECAC Hockey League. It also hosted the NCAA Frozen Four in 1965. It is recognizable for its large white domed roof, and is located at Brown's main athletic complex at the corner of Hope St. and Lloyd Ave. in Providence. It was renovated in 2002, bringing its capacity up to its current level.
