UT announces plans for new on-campus basketball arena

AUSTIN (KXAN) — After years of speculation about whether or not the University of Texas at Austin would move its basketball arena, the school announced Friday that the new arena will be built on-campus.
The university says the new home for Longhorns basketball will replace the Frank Erwin Center in five to seven years. Diagrams show the new arena would be built just south of Mike A. Myers Stadium, near the intersection of Red River Street and Robert Dedman Drive.
