Strahan Coliseum Men's & Women's Basketball / Volleyball Year Opened ... 1982 Capacity ... 7,200 Record Crowd ... 5,591 Men's Basketball vs. UT-San Antonio (1998)

Texas State enters its 20th year in Strahan Coliseum, the $8.8-million, 7,200-seat facility completed for use in 1982 for both the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the volleyball team.

Strahan Coliseum gives Texas State one of the finest playing facilities in the Southland Conference and in the Southwest. The Coliseum has a wood playing surface and all seats are individual, including 1,176 theater-styled padded seats.

The facility also houses four auxiliary gyms, a Maroon & Gold room for booster activities, and the central box office operations. The 126,000-square foot facility has lighting which meets television specifications and can be expanded to over 8,000 seats for concerts and other events.

Construction on Strahan Coliseum first started in November 1979. It is adjacent to Jowers Center, the heart of Texas State's athletic department. The $4.7-million Jowers Center houses all athletic offices (except those within Strahan), men's and women's dressing rooms, racquetball and handball courts, a gymnastics competition area, two gyms, weight rooms, training rooms, a student lounge, and laundry and equipment facilities.
