Home of Mavericks Men and Women's Basketball
Named "The Best Place in America to Watch College Basketball" by Sports Illustrated in 1997, Texas Hall is the home to UTA's men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. Possibly the most unique setting for intercollegiate events in the nation, the Mavericks¹ home court seats 4,200 and allows fans two areas of seating that allow for two radically different ways to watch the game. One side of the court gives the UTA faithful the opportunity to sit in plush, theater-style seating while watching the action on the elevated floor. This means that fans will never have to yell, "Down in front!" since the action is taking place a few feet higher then them. Imagine rock concert meets run-n-gun offense. The other side of the court is for the fan who wants to be close up to the event. With seats just a few feet from the court, fans in the bleacher area are right on top of the action. Texas Hall is also equipped with one of the best sound and lighting systems around, contributing to an atmosphere that makes "Ball at the Hall" one of the most exciting and unique experiences for fans, student-athletes, coaches and everyone else involved.

Home of Mavericks Baseball
For years UTA enjoyed playing on one of the most well-manicured baseball fields in the country. Now, as the Mavericks head into their 29th season in the same location, the Mavs can enjoy looking out at one of the most attractive stadiums anywhere. Donned with lights, a specially-designed overhang for shade, a state-of-the-art press box and message-center scoreboard in addition to seating which gives the stadium a bowl effect, the Mavericks head into their eighth season at Clay Gould Ballpark, renamed in 2003 in honor of the late UTA player, assistant coach and head coach who played on two NCAA Tournament teams and coached the Mavericks to their third NCAA Tournament appearance.
The park underwent a renovation, with a new bleacher seating down the first and third base lines, a new set of lights, a new outfield wall, two remodeled astro-turfed batting cages, a 10-foot wall and a new batter's eye on the drawing board. In addition, the outside facade of the Stadium is built of limestone and steel that welcomes visitors for a nine innings of Divison I baseball. Before this latest facelift, the last renovations to the stadium took place in 1999, when a new three-foot high brick wall that spans from dugout to dugout was added, along with a new net backstop.
The stadium was formerly known as Allan Saxe Stadium. Dr. Saxe is an associate professor of political science at UTA, after his overwhelming generosity made it possible for UTA to continue its development of one of the finest facilities in the NCAA.
The stadium was originally opened in 1974 as the Mavericks hosted Texas Christian University in what became the UTA debut of Head Coach Butch McBroom, who led the Mavs for 26 years.
In their first 25 seasons, the Mavericks established the Arlington Athletic Center as one of the toughest places for a visiting team in the country. Since 1974, the Mavericks have averaged more than 22 wins per season at home.
In 1986, the center was completely renovated. The entire field was sprigged with a fine natural turf (Hybrid Bermuda Tiff 419). A hydraulic powered irrigation system was installed while the surface was totally re-sloped. A new infield dirt mixture was applied along with the addition of a warning track surrounding the field.
Clay Gould Ballpark is now considered one of the finest playing surfaces in the Southwest. Besides UTA baseball, the diamond has played host to the Texas State Junior College Tournament and the state Connie Mack and American Legion Tournaments as well as numerous high school playoff games.
The field, which is equipped with lights, has dimensions of 330 feet down the lines, 380 feet into the power alleys and 400 feet to straight away center field.
ALLAN SAXE FIELD

Next door to Allan Saxe Stadium is Allan Saxe Field, home to Maverick softball. Like its neighboring facility, the softball field is named in honor of Dr. Allan Saxe, and was completely renovated in 1993. With bleacher seating for over 250 fans, Allan Saxe Field offers fans the opportunity to watch the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex¹s lone NCAA Division I softball team up close to the action in an intimate setting.
The facility features a press box with seating for media and sports information personnel, a sound system for music and public address announcements, a concession stand and restroom facilities. On the field, players from each team enjoy spacious, covered dugouts and an extremely well-manicured field. Batting cages and twin-mound bullpens give players the opportunity stay on top of their games. Lights make night games possible and a 10-inning scoreboard sits beyond the outfield fence, which stands 10 feet high.

The Mavericks hosted the Southland Conference Tournament in 1998 and will host it again this season.
