Paul E. Tsongas Arena is a multi-use indoor sport and concert venue in Lowell, Massachusetts. The Arena was opened and dedicated to the memory of prominent local and national politician Paul Tsongas on January 27, 1998.

The arena was built with funding from both the city and the university – $4 million from each – plus another $20 million contributed from the state of Massachusetts in support of UMass.

The facility is home to the AHL Lowell Devils ice hockey team, who play in the Atlantic Division. The facility is also home to the UMass Lowell River Hawks Division I hockey team who compete in Hockey East.

Tsongas Arena also hosts concerts and other public events, including the graduations of several local high schools. Hockey seating capacity is approximately 6,500 while concert seating capacity is approximately 7,800.

In 2004, alternative music pioneers Pixies recorded their live concert DVD and high-definition television special "The Pixies: Come Home Live 2004 World Tour" at Tsongas Arena. In the same year, the group Yes released a DVD of their 35th anniversary tour performance at the venue titled "Songs from Tsongas."
