Capel Arena
The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Complex, completed in 1995 and known as one of the best in the NCAA's Division II, was named after Felton J. Capel, a Fayetteville State University Board of Trustee Member.
Capel chaired FSU's board of trustees and later served as vice chairman of the school's foundation board. He is also the father of Jeff Capel, an assistant coach with the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building also boasts an indoor track, an aerobics studio, racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, weight rooms and the athletic department's athletic training facility.
Enjoy playing tennis? FSU's Capel Arena has four courts for the enjoyment of faculty, staff and students. Don't have time to play during the day? With the court lights, you can play in the day time or in the evening.
The FSU swimming pool is also located in the Capel Arena. The pool is Olympic sized and has a shallow end and diving board. The pool is available for use by students, faculty and staff.
