Calihan Hall is an 8,295-seat multi-purpose arena in Detroit, Michigan. It is home to the University of Detroit Mercy Titans basketball team. The arena opened in 1952. The building was dedicated on May 25, 1952 as the Memorial Building. The first basketball game was played on December 2 of that year when the Titans defeated Kalamazoo College, 75–61. In 1977, the name was changed to Calihan Hall in honor of the Titans' first basketball All-American Bob Calihan.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) Detroit Pistons played some games in Calihan Hall in the late 1950s.

The Titan Pep Band is featured at all men's and women's home basketball games in Calihan Hall.

On December 5, 2011, the floor at Calihan Hall was named the Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall, in honor of longtime ESPN analyst Dick Vitale, who began his head coaching career at the University of Detroit in 1973 and later served as the school's athletic director. The date coincides with the 32nd anniversary of Vitale's first game at ESPN.^[1]
