After a year and a half of construction, The Pavilion at Ole Miss has officially become the new home for Rebel Hoops and a main topic of conversation around campus.
The $96.5 million arena opened in January with a sold-out crowd watching the men’s basketball team defeat Alabama.
The Pavilion’s price tag makes it the most expensive college basketball arena in the SEC, just ahead of Auburn’s $92.5 million coliseum built in 2010. The Pavilion is pricier than even the homes of basketball powerhouses such Duke University’s Cameron Indoor Stadium and the University of Kentucky’s Rupp Arena.
