Frank C. Erwin Jr. Special Events Center (Erwin Center)

The Frank C. Erwin Jr. Special Events Center was a multi-purpose arena on the University of Texas campus that hosted UT men's and women's basketball games, concerts, commencements, and other large-scale events for decades. Opened in the late 1970s, the venue was a prominent downtown-adjacent gathering spot for sporting and entertainment events associated with the university and the city. Its site and legacy are frequently referenced in histories of Austin’s campus and downtown event venues.
