The Pavilion at Ole Miss

The Pavilion at Ole Miss is a multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. The $96.5 million multipurpose arena[4] is home to the University of Mississippi Rebels men's and women's basketball teams, with seating for up to 9,500 people. The facility also serves as a secondary student union, with a Steak 'N Shake and a Rasing Cane's restaurant available to the community during normal business hours.[4] The Pavilion replaced the Tad Smith Coliseum[5] in January 2016; the opening game, on January 7, saw the Rebels men defeat Alabama 74–66.[2]
