Before the arena opened, SECU secured the naming rights in a ten-year deal running through September 2023, after which the facility was known as TU Arena.[4] In May 2025, SECU returned as naming rights sponsor with a seven-year deal.[5][6]
In addition to being the home of several Towson sports teams, the arena also serves several other functions. It has been used as a concert arena for artists. Since opening, the arena has been host to an annual performance by the Harlem Globetrotters. Additionally, both the university and local Baltimore County high schools use the facility for their commencement ceremonies.[citation needed]
In 2017, the Baltimore Blast of the Major Arena Soccer League moved to the arena after 37 years at CFG Bank Arena.[citation needed]
