Austin-based Tito’s Handmade Vodka has committed a $20-million investment in practice facilities for the Texas Longhorns, the school announced on Monday.
With the pending demolition of the Erwin Center and the adjacent Denton Cooley Pavilion, as well as the aging bubble at Frank Denius Fields, the men’s and women’s basketball programs, rowing, and football all need new practice facilities. The basketball and rowing facilities will be next to the Moody Center with an expected completion date of summer 2022.
“What a tremendous show of support and Longhorn pride from Tito Beveridge through the philanthropic generosity of Tito’s,” said athletics director Chris Del Conte in a statement released by the school.
