Robert A. Mott Gymnasium

Located at the southeastern entrance to the university, Cal Poly’s Mott Gymnasium has been the site of many historic athletic competitions for Cal Poly men’s and women’s basketball teams, women’s volleyball and Mustang wrestling. Affectionately known as “The Asylum” or “The Big Ugly” by the raucous Mustang fans that regularly sell out basketball games and volleyball matches, Mott has earned a well-deserved reputation as the most difficult setting in which to compete in the Big West Conference. This is due to the architectural layout of the facility that ensures a deafening crowded noise is showered on opponents from the well-choreographed Mustang Maniacs spirit group and supporting fans.
