College Park Center (CPC) is an indoor, multi-purpose arena on the University of Texas at Arlington campus in Arlington, Texas, United States. It seats up to 7,250 spectators for sporting events and up to 6,500 for a concert/stage event. Its primary tenant is the Mavericks athletic department including the university's basketball and volleyball teams. A secondary tenant during the summer season is the WNBA's Dallas Wings, though they will move to a new downtown Dallas arena for the 2027 season. It also hosts graduation ceremonies for UT Arlington, other private trade schools, and area high schools, along with concerts and events. The arena is part of a 20-acre (8.1 ha) section of the campus known as the College Park District. Completed in 2012, the District includes a residence hall, student apartments, a welcome center, a credit union, a 4.62-acre (1.87 ha) park called The Green at College Park, restaurants, and three parking garages. College Park Center is divided into two concourses. The lower surrounds the court/performance area while the upper section is shaped like a horseshoe. For end stage concerts, CPC can seat 6,400 spectators, with the lower bowl seating 3,600. A 2,800-square-foot (260 m2) hospitality suite, divisible into three private sections is above the lower sections opposite the scorers table. The center-hung scoreboard is a four-sided Daktronics 13' × 9' with LED displays while an end-hung scoreboard is an 11' × 19' Daktronics LED display. Two LED display ribbon boards circle the bottom of the balcony seating. At the scorers table are four Daktronics LED display tables linked together to display messages and advertising. Underneath the lower concourse are state-of-the-art sports medicine and training facilities, two full-sized practice courts, 2,500-square-foot (230 m2) weight room, and an academic support study center.
