It’s getting closer, y’all! Just a few weeks away!

The University of Mississippi’s new, state-of-the-art $96.5 million Pavilion at Ole Miss will open Jan. 7 as the Ole Miss men’s basketball team takes on Alabama for its SEC opener.

But this isn’t just any ol’ basketball arena. The Pavilion will house the largest center-hung video display board in all of college sports, for starters. It will also include a 2,255-square-foot space for retail and a food court, which will bring Steak ‘n Shake and Raising Cane’s to Oxford.

The arena also includes a cutting-edge, fiber-enabled Wi-Fi lounge, thanks to a partnership with C Spire.

And if that’s not enough first-class amenities, there’s baseline seating for students and three premium club areas with than 1,700 seats at the Pavilion, which has an overall capacity of 9,500.

The Pavilion also will serve as a concert venue that will be christened when Brad Paisley brings his Country Nation College Tour through Oxford on Jan. 24. The show is free to students and the public.

Don’t miss out on all the excitement. Make sure to get your basketball tickets so you’re in the stands to witness history!

Hotty Toddy!
