Apartments Near Foster Pavilion
Foster Pavilion is Baylor's arena for basketball and volleyball, seating over 10,000 fans. It replaced the historic Ferrell Center and hosts major campus events.
Why Foster Pavilion Matters
Foster Pavilion is Baylor's basketball and volleyball home — and a major venue for campus events, concerts, and graduation ceremonies. Living 0.5 miles away means walking to every home game without dealing with the parking that swells around the arena during big matchups. Baylor men's and women's basketball both bring strong, high-energy programs; the student section gets loud, and getting in and out efficiently makes a real difference in how many games you actually attend. Beyond games, Foster hosts campus events ranging from major speaker series and concerts to graduation. Walking to evening events you'd otherwise skip because of parking is a small thing that adds up — over four years it changes which parts of Baylor life you participate in versus which ones you just hear about the next day.
