Could Reno eventually host the Mountain West Tournament with new arena?
If all goes to plan, the Nevada Wolf Pack are expected to have a new home by the start of the 2026-27 season, as the Grand Sierra Resort is planning on privately investing $1 billion into a new home arena for the Wolf Pack men’s basketball team, Nevada Sports Net first reported Wednesday.
The state-of-the-art arena is expected to seat over 10,000 people, which is slightly smaller than Nevada’s Lawlor Events Center (about 12,000), the current host to Wolf Pack men’s and women’s basketball games. The $1 billion investment will also include a new 800-room hotel on the property, at least one parking garage and hundreds of affordable units.
