With the final full season at the Ferrell Center a thing of the past, all eyes are on the soon-to-be-finished Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion.
In December 2021, Baylor and the City of Waco announced the plan to construct a brand new arena along the Brazos River on the west side of I-35. With just over a year of construction already underway, the Pavilion is on track to be completed in January 2024.
The 245,000-square-foot Foster Pavilion will provide seating for 7,000 fans and additional standing room for 500 fans compared to the about 10,300 seats available at the 150,000-square-foot Ferrell Center.
