Venue: Moody Center
Town: Austin, US
Capacity: 15,000

Moody Center is a multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) in Austin, Texas. The arena, which replaced the Frank Erwin Center, stands on a former parking lot located immediately south of UT's soccer/track and field venue, Mike A. Myers Stadium. The arena seating capacity totals over 15,000 seats. In 2018, it was announced that Oak View Group and UT agreed to form a public-private partnership, to build a new $375 million arena. The arena was intended to replace the Frank Erwin Center as the home for the Texas Longhorns basketball programs, and will also function as an events center for the city of Austin. The new arena is named the Moody Center following the Moody Foundation's grant of $130 million to the university. Oak View Group funded the construction, and manages the building in exchange for the right to keep most of the income from non-UT events, such as concerts and shows, for at least the first 35 years after opening. UT, however, owns the land under the arena and will be the owner of the building. Under the terms of the agreement, the university will have exclusive control of the arena for 60 days each year to hold men's and women's basketball games, graduations, and other events. Oak View Group, along with partners Live Nation and C3 Presents, will have the right to hold events on the other days. The groundbreaking ceremony took place just south of Mike A. Myers Soccer Stadium on December 3, 2019. The arena held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 19, 2022 and opened to the public on April 20 with a two-night concert featuring John Mayer. On July 9, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted the co-founder and CEO of Oak View Group, which manages the Moody Center and only the Moody Center, for conspiracy to rig the bidding process. George Strait and Willie Nelson had two shows on April 29-30, 2022. Dave Matthews Band performed the opening night of their 2022 Summer Tour on May 11. The arena held its first UFC event on June 18, 202
