Romeoville, Ill. – The Lewis University Athletic Department is proud to unveil its new home court, giving Neil Carey Arena a sleek, modern redesign while also providing Lewis' student-athletes with a premier home environment.
"Championship programs are built through intentional investments in people and places," Assistant Vice President for Athletics
John Ashaolu said. "This new court is a visible symbol of Lewis University's commitment to excellence and our belief that our student-athletes deserve first-class resources. We are deeply appreciative of the donors whose generosity made this project a reality and whose partnership continues to elevate the future of Flyer Athletics. We look forward to creating unforgettable moments on this floor for years to come."
The two-tone wood court features the iconic Lewis logo at center court, complemented by sleek black accents around the perimeter. Its glossy light gray finish creates a distinctive look that sets the Flyers' home court apart from others in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) and the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA), making Neil Carey Arena a truly one-of-a-kind venue.
Red lines highlight the volleyball court and basketball key, while the GLVC and MIVA logos are seamlessly incorporated into the design. Along the sidelines, fans will also find the department's primary social media handle, @GoLewisFlyers, and the official athletics slogan, #FlyAsOne.
This project was made possible through the generosity of the many donors and supporters of Lewis athletics. Their continued support enriches the student-athlete experience and empowers our teams to compete for conference and national championships across all sports. If you would like to support the Flyers,

Game time, along with the remainder of the home schedules for Lewis' four indoor programs (men's/women's volleyball and men's/women's basketball) will be announced on later dates.
