The Cave
The Cave has been an iconic part of ETSU life for decades. Following a two-year, multimillion-dollar
renovation, it now houses The CAVE Esports Arena!
The facility is the center of video gaming on campus and the region. Completely re-thought and designed for console, PC, and live boardcasting, The Cave's central attraction is the new ETSU Esports Video Wall measuring a massive 32 feet to accommodate a variety of public display needs, including presentation of gameplay for LIVE esports tournaments!
Private Practice Facility.
ETSU Esports team members have a dedicated training facility. Located in the center of the Cave Esports Arena, equipped with top of the line performance PCs and an audio visual display that allows coaches to spotlight each player's machine on a central monitor for review and instruction. The Arena has been nicknamed Rathskeller. The name originates from Germany, and translates to 'the cellar of a town hall'. The Cave has always been a hub for students to gather, we wanted that tradition to be reflected in the new Arena.
