The $60 million Hofheinz Pavilion renovations are almost complete and the newly renamed Fertitta Center, named after Tillman Fertitta who donated $20 million toward the project, will open on Dec. 1 with a men’s basketball game against Oregon.
The Pavilion closed after the 2016-17 season, and the basketball teams have been playing at Texas Southern University’s H&PE Arena since.
The Cougar and other media were given a chance to tour the new arena and see the progress first hand this week.
