Firestone Clubhouse

The Firestone Clubhouse is a former arena that was located at 1301 Firestone Parkway, in Akron, OH, USA. The Clubhouse was built by Firestone Tire and Rubber Company founder Harvey Firestone, to serve as a recreational and educational hub for employees.

The arena's most notable tenant was the Akron Firestone Non-Skids, which began as an industrial basketball team of Firestone employee. The team began competing professionally in 1932, and in 1937 along with General Electric and Goodyear, created the National Basketball League. The Non-Skids would win championships in 1940 and 1941, before disbanding in 1941. The arena's capacity for basketball was approximately 1,500

Boxing and wrestling would also be held at the Clubhouse from the mid-1920s until the mid-1930s. Boxing programs often fell on Saturdays, or Fridays. Capacity for boxing, is believed to have been close to 2,000, as KO Christner drew standing-room only capacity for an appearance there in 1933 with 1,994 in attendance. Paul Sheeks, the recreation director of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, was the promoter of boxing and wrestling at this venue.
