History

In 2018, it was announced that Oak View Group and the University of Texas had agreed to build a new $388 million arena for the Texas Longhorns basketball program to replace the Frank Erwin Center.[3][4] The new arena will be named the Moody Center after the Moody Foundation who is contributing $130 million towards the construction. Construction now underway, the groundbreaking ceremony took place just south of Mike A. Myers Soccer Stadium on December 3, 2019 with completion expected to occur in 2022.[5] Permanent and temporary earth retention systems are designed by engineering team of Orduno design services (DoHyun Kim, PE and Marjan Shahrokh, PhD) and construction of ERS is done by Oscar Orduno Inc. construction team.
