The Moody Center is an arena on the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas, opened in 2022. It sits at 2001 Robert Dedman Drive, in the 78712 area of the city, and is a venue built for the kind of evening where the event itself is the reason to come.
What to expect
The arena hosts major concerts, basketball games, and other live entertainment. Its design is modern, with attention to acoustics and sightlines, so that most seats offer a clear view of the stage or court. Food and drink options draw on local flavours, which makes it easy to eat well before or during a show.
Planning a visit
- Type of visit: a night out for a concert or a sporting event, rather than a daytime sightseeing stop.
- Location: on the University of Texas campus, a short distance from the rest of the university's grounds.
- Setting: Austin is known as the Live Music Capital, so a visit here fits naturally into a wider evening of music in the city.
If you are deciding whether to go, check the event calendar for the show or game you have in mind, since the venue's programme depends on what is booked. For those who enjoy live performance, the Moody Center offers a modern setting in one of Texas's most lively cities.
