The home to Texas Basketball and Austin’s biggest venue, the Moody Center has taken home 19+ accolades since it opened in 2022, including the Academy of Country Music’s 2025 Arena of the Year and Pollstar’s 2024 Arena of the Year.

With more than 140 ticketed events in 2025, the Moody Center grossed $89.8 million and entertained 854,000+ visitors. The Moody Center was one of three US arenas and two Texas venues in the top 10.
