'''Rupert C. Thompson Arena''' is a 3,500-seat hockey [[arena]] in [[Hanover, New Hampshire]]. It is home to the [[Dartmouth College]] Big Green men's and women's [[ice hockey]] [[team]]s.  The barrel-vaulted, reinforced concrete arena was designed by renowned architect [[Pier Luigi Nervi]]. It was named for Rupert C. Thompson '28, the major benefactor of the project, and replaced Davis Rink, the original "indoor" home of Dartmouth hockey from 1929 to 1975.  (Davis Rink, which was located next to old Alumni Gym, was demolished in 1985 to make way for the Berry Sports Center.)
