XU's volleyball team has been the most dominant as Floyd Deaton's squad has amassed a record of 48-7 (.873) while averaging 493 spectators per match.

Spectators also benefit from the many amenities of the five-year-old facility which include a top of the line media production suite that allows for in-house video of all home events. Other important features of Cintas Center are the 22 luxury box suites, great sight lines from all seats in the arena, a team store and the Joseph Club and Duff's Lounge, which allow for fan gatherings prior to and after many home games.
