RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced on Friday temporary changes to parking at the UTRGV Fieldhouse due to ongoing construction of the new UTRGV Fieldhouse atrium.
For the remainder of basketball season, the construction zone will extend both north and east to include part of the current parking lot. Cones and signage will be in place to designate driving and walking areas as fans park for games and walk to the fieldhouse entrance.
This construction includes a new entrance to the UTRGV Fieldhouse via the Lew Hill Memorial Plaza along with a new box office, team store, Hall of Fame area, concessions stand, restrooms, and premium seating area known as the baseline club.
Although the expanded construction zone will make VIP donor parking unavailable for the remainder of the season, the completion of the atrium will enhance the value of the VIP area by making it the closest parking to the new entrance.
For more information on how to become eligible for VIP donor parking, contact the Vaqueros Athletic Fund team at
vaf@utrgv.edu.
The atrium will stand 27 feet high and provide an additional 13,000 square feet of additional space for the UTRGV Fieldhouse. Construction is expected to be complete by the summer.
The construction is part of more than $160 million in facilities enhancements across 13 capital projects taking place from 2022-26 touching all athletic programs at UTRGV.
The extent of the investment in athletics facilities is occurring at a rapid and unprecedented scale for the university. Since the construction of Jody Ramsey Memorial Stadium, where the baseball team played from 1974 through 2001 before moving into UTRGV Baseball Stadium, which was built by the City of Edinburg, the only athletics-related capital project was the construction of the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex, which opened in 2014.
