The Wolstein Center, formerly known as the CSU Convocation Center is an indoor arena located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is home to the Cleveland State University basketball team and the former home of the Cleveland Crunch and Cleveland Force of the NPSL and MISL. It has also hosted numerous concerts, conferences and has served as a site for NCAA Men's Basketball tournament games.

Completed on November 1, 1991 at a cost of $55 million, it was the largest university-owned arena in the state of Ohio until the Value City Arena at Ohio State University was completed. The arena seats 13,610 for basketball, and (with additional floor seating) can hold 15,000 for concerts and wrestling.

The building was renamed to the Wolstein Center on January 21, 2005, though it still remains popularly known as the "Convo" Center.

It hosted the 1992 Mid-Continent Conference men’s basketball tournament and the 2002 Horizon League men's basketball tournament.
