New Arena
Do not drive past stadium during business hours. Utility construction getting prepared for the new Arena at Harbin and Tarleton Streets.

That being said... What will the new "multi-event center" be named?

My vote is the Wisdom Center with the Lonn Reisman Court.

I was at the Kansas game and sitting next to a couple of Tarleton Athletic Department folks and they were discussing how high the new arena would be in comparison to Phogg Allen. This was in reference to the internal seating chart. So some people know stuff but nothing has been released to the public.

RE: New Arena
Somehow the opening announcement at games will be "Welcome to the Texan Hotel and Event Center at Lonn Reisman Court." Possibly something else, but I'm going to the bank on this one.

I have heard that there is going to be more emphasis on it being a "Convocation Center" than a "Basketball Arena" in terms naming. I think they are wanting the outsiders to know that it is going to be very multipurpose with graduations, concerts, etc. happening in there. So I could see it being something very general and not athletics focused.

Just pray it doesn't turn out like the UTSA Convocation Center.

Jk, I know it won't.

RE: New Arena
Yes, there are upgrades occurring along Harbin Drive / West Tarleton Street and it will serve the university's new arena/hotel once that project eventually comes to fruition. I think Tarleton is still quite a ways out on starting that capital project—nothing has even gone before the TAMUS BoR concerning a new arena/hotel.

The reason the infrastructure upgrades have begun this week is to accommodate the Harbin Drive widening/rehabilitation project that is now in motion after months of planning/design processes, even though the city was quick to jump the gun and post those big signs as far back as last summer. Relocation of overhead power lines and underground utilities were needed prior to the road work starting.

Harbin Drive will be a divided boulevard when completed, similar to Wolfe Nursery Road and W. Frey Street near the Walmart and SISD campuses. I've also heard the city may consider renaming Harbin to University Drive.

Excellent information. Future is bright and long over due.

I went to the bb game against UVU last Thursday and saw construction on Harbin. We could still start the arena/convocation center/hotel while Harbin is being remodeled. It doesn’t need to be completed prior to construction starting but it will need to be finished before the arena is complete.
