WACO, Texas (KWTX) - On December 22, 2023, Baylor basketball played its last game at the Ferrell Center, ending an era with a dominant 107-48 victory over Mississippi Valley State.
The Bears marked the occasion by setting a Ferrell Center record with 19 three-pointers.
For 35 years, since its opening in 1988, the iconic gold-domed Ferrell Center has served as the home for Baylor basketball.
While the basketball teams now play at Foster Pavilion, the Ferrell Center’s legacy continues serving as the dedicated home for Volleyball and Acrobatics & Tumbling.
