MIAMI UNIVERSITY VOLLEYBALL CAMPS
John D. Millett Hall
Millett Hall: John D. Millett Hall, named in honor of Miami University's 16th president, opened its doors on Dec. 2, 1968, and serves as the home of RedHawk men's and women's basketball and volleyball. Millett Hall, built at an approximate cost of $7.5 million, houses many of the athletic department offices, as well as the university ROTC offices. The building also has hosted commencement exercises, plays and concerts. Among those who have performed at Millett Hall are Bill Cosby, The Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, 50 Cent, Uncle Kracker, Ray Charles, R.E.M., Jay Leno, Barry Manilow, James Taylor, Bob Hope, Charlie Daniels, George Burns, Gladys Knight, Josh Groban and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Volleyball: Millett Hall will be entering its 26th season as home of Miami Volleyball in 2009. Since moving into the building for the 1985 season, Miami has compiled a 215-108 record at Millett Hall-a winning percentage of .666-including wins over Central Michigan and Kent to win the 1996 MAC Tournament Championship and Akron and Northern Illinois to win the 1998 MAC Tournament crown. The MAC Tournament has since moved to a neutral site and is currently played at the Seagate Center in Toledo, Ohio.
The past two seasons (2007-08) have been especially successful for the RedHawks, as they have parlayed a 16-6 home record into back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. During the 1998 campaign, the RedHawks went an impressive 12-0 in Millett against conference opponents. Going into the 1999 season, Miami was on a 13-match homecourt winning streak, which tied the longest string of volleyball wins in Millett and is the most successive wins in one season. Miami's other 13 consecutive home triumphs were accomplished between Oct. 18, 1985, and Oct. 18, 1986. Between the 1998 and 1999 seasons, the RedHawks established a 17-game homecourt winning streak, the longest in the program's history. The streak began on Sept. 12, 1998, and concluded on Sept. 4, 1999. Over 1,000 fans attended the 1995 Mid-American Conference Volleyball Championship for the largest home volleyball crowd at Millett Hall.
