This Sunday will be memorable not only for the seniors graduating from the University of Houston but for the history of the entire program: Hofheinz Pavilion is set to be renovated and renamed following the conclusion of the regular season.
With a $20 million gift — the largest individual donation to UH Athletics — Tilman Fertitta has earned the naming rights for the new basketball arena, which will be called the Fertitta Center. While Judge Roy Hofheinz’s name will no longer be attached to the basketball arena, there will be a statue of him and a plaza named in his honor.
