The George M. Holmes Convocation Center (usually referred to as the Holmes Center or The Black Hole) is a 8,325-seat multi-purpose arena in Boone, North Carolina. The convocation center is named for George M. Holmes, a 1954 graduate and member of the North Carolina General Assembly. The arena itself is named for Seby Jones. It was built in 2000 and is home to the Appalachian State Mountaineers men's and women's basketball teams. The inaugural event was a men's basketball game held on November 17, 2000 between the Mountaineers and the Tar Heels of North Carolina. The facility replaced Varsity Gymnasium.
