The Gold Mine is a 1,900-seat multi-purpose arena in Long Beach, California on the campus of California State University, Long Beach. Opened in the late 1950s, it was known as University Gym. The Gold Mine was home to Long Beach State's basketball and volleyball teams until the Walter Pyramid opened in 1994. It used to have nearly 2400 wooden bleacher seats before a mid-80s renovation.[1][2]
The Gold Mine is still occasionally used for volleyball and basketball games, if there is a scheduling conflict at the Pyramid. Today, its primary function is for Long Beach State intramural sports and other campus events.[citation needed]

The blue entrance, south side, probably has some kind of dry rot or something. The underside of the bridge that takes you to the blue entrance, it looks like water damage. Saw some photos and my buddy was a gen'l contractor for a long time. Not looking good. Crumbling is the best way to describe it. The other entrances are taped off, precautionary for now I would guess.
Saturdays game may be in the Gold Mine again. From what I was told. But no one really knows.
At this point I could care less where MBB plays, but MVB if the Mid isn't available, I'd rather they go elsewhere the gold mine and its low ceiling is a joke for volleyball at our level.
Crumbling infrastructure, get used to it.
