As per SSR Roofing, Boca Raton, FL – The Florida Atlantic University Athletic Department has partnered with Brian Wedding and RoofClaim.com on a $5 million, 10-year sponsorship to name the RoofClaim.com Arena, home of the FAU men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams to build a brand new gym for both teams with the necessary facilities.
