UTRGV Fieldhouse (formerlyUTPA Fieldhouse until the 2015 merger that created UTRGV) is a 2,500-seat multi-purposearena^[1] on the campus of theUniversity of Texas Rio Grande Valley inEdinburg, Texas. It was built in 1969 for one of UTRGV's predecessor institutions, Pan American University, which later became theUniversity of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), and is home to theUTRGV Vaqueros men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the Vaqueros women's volleyball team. The Fieldhouse is also used extensively by the Department of Health andKinesiology.

Located on the far east end of thecampus, the UTRGV Fieldhouse is among the oldest Division I arenas inTexas. While capacity is officially listed at 2,500, a record crowd of 5,649 jammed the Fieldhouse in 1981 to see the Vaqueros' predecessors, CoachBill White's Pan American University Broncos battlePat Foster's^[2]Lamar Cardinals.

Improvements

[edit]

While maintaining a sense of history and tradition, the UTRGV Fieldhouse has undergone renovations. A new center court, new bleachers, and court-side seating were added in 2010. In 2012, a new electronic scoreboard was added. Volleyball offices, locker rooms, and team meeting rooms were renovated in 2012. Basketball offices, locker rooms, and team meeting rooms were renovated in 2013. New scoreboards and shot clocks were installed in 2014. The court was refinished in 2015. In 2017, a new sound system was installed. Several improvements were completed in 2019 including refinishing the court to a new color scheme, new sideline tables, new scoreboards, and renovated home and visitor's locker rooms.^[3]^[4]

The venue's name changed in 2015, when UTRGV began operation following the merger of UTPA and the nearbyUniversity of Texas at Brownsville.
