Texas Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Texas Hall on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington is a 76,000 square foot combination theater and special events center. Seating capacity is 2709 for stage productions and 3309 for athletic events.

Texas Hall hosts an average of 200-300 events per year. It hosts concerts, lectures, meetings, theatre, and dance in its theater configuration.

As an athletic facility, Texas Hall is the home of UT Arlington Mavericks men's basketball, women's basketball, wheelchair basketball and volleyball. It is among the most unusual basketball/volleyball venues in America, since the court is located on the stage of Texas Hall. In 1997 Texas Hall was noted by Sports Illustrated as one of college basketball's best places to view a game. This is because of the up close view the audience has of the court which is similar to a high school set up.
