Consider the mood blessed, because the Moody Center was named the No. 1 Highest Grossing Venue Worldwide in the 10,000-15,000-capacity category by Billboard for the second year in a row.

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.

Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena took the No. 4 slot with $74.3 million on the same list. Dallas’s American Airlines Center, and Houston’s NRG Stadium + Toyota Center also appeared on other portions of the Billboard rankings.
