About Ferrell Center

Ferrell Center is an indoor arena owned and operated by Baylor University. Opened in 1988, it sits at 1950 University Drive on the eastern edge of the Baylor campus in Waco, Texas. The arena holds approximately 10,284 fans for basketball, with smaller configurations used for volleyball and other events.

The venue is the longtime home of Baylor Bears Men's Basketball, Baylor Bears Women's Basketball, Baylor Bears Volleyball, and Baylor Bears Acrobatics & Tumbling. It has hosted Baylor basketball through the program's rise to national prominence, including the men's run to the 2021 NCAA national championship and sustained success from both the men's and women's programs. In addition to Big 12 Conference matchups and nationally ranked basketball games, Ferrell Center has hosted NCAA Tournament-related events, commencement ceremonies, concerts, speakers, and university special events.

Its white multi-faceted roof and continuous bowl design make Ferrell Center a recognizable Baylor campus landmark, while the seating bowl keeps spectators close to the court for an energetic college-sports atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Ferrell Center is located at 1950 University Drive, Waco, TX 76711 — on the eastern edge of the Baylor University campus, just off Interstate 35.

Driving and Parking: Most visitors arrive by car. On-site and adjacent surface parking lots serve event attendees, and lots can fill ahead of marquee Baylor basketball games. Arriving early is especially helpful for high-attendance matchups when parking and entry lines build before tip-off.

Transit: Waco Transit System operates local bus routes in the area, and Baylor provides on-campus shuttle service. Transit can be useful for campus movement, though driving remains the most common way visitors reach the arena.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Waco, and rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical near the arena. After high-attendance games, expect some post-event wait time as crowds leave the area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available throughout Waco, including options near Interstate 35 and downtown Waco close to the Baylor campus.

Venue Navigation

Ferrell Center has a straightforward arena layout, with main public entrances leading into a concourse that serves the seating bowl. Understanding the bowl and section structure in advance helps you move efficiently from entry to your seats, especially before popular Baylor basketball games.

Entrances and Access: Main public entrances connect guests to the arena concourse and the seating bowl. Entry includes ticket verification and event security screening.

Concourse Levels: The arena uses a single continuous bowl with lower and upper seating sections surrounding the court. Lower sections sit closest to the floor, while upper sections rise above them around the bowl.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available. ADA seating arrangements are handled through the Baylor athletics ticket office.

Getting to Your Section: Concourse signage and event staff direct guests to sections. Because the seating bowl is continuous, section-finding is generally straightforward once you are inside the arena.

How Much Do Tickets to Ferrell Center Cost?

Ferrell Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Baylor volleyball and acrobatics & tumbling to marquee Big 12 basketball games.

For Baylor basketball regular games, tickets can start around $30, with standard matchups typically landing in a mid-range price band depending on opponent, seat location, day of week, and demand.

For high-demand basketball games — including ranked opponents, rivalry matchups, and Big 12 marquee dates — prices are higher, often reaching $100 or more for prime lower-bowl seats near the court.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing, especially for marquee conference games. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, the best remaining sections can become more expensive.

Ferrell Center Seating Guide

Ferrell Center uses a continuous arena bowl that surrounds the basketball court, with lower-bowl sections nearest the floor and upper sections above. For Baylor basketball, volleyball, and other arena events, understanding the difference between proximity, center-court sightlines, and value seating can help you choose the right ticket.

Best Seats at Ferrell Center

• Best value: Upper-level and corner or baseline sections farther from the court are typically the most affordable options, offering a broad view of the full playing surface and a strong arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl courtside and sideline sections nearest the floor put fans closest to the court for Baylor basketball and other events staged on the arena floor.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sideline sections offer the best combination of proximity and sightlines to center court, making them a strong choice for fans who want both atmosphere and a clear view of the action.
• Premium and group options: Premium sideline seating and group seating arrangements are available, with group bookings handled through the Baylor ticket office.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is helpful for high-demand basketball games, especially when you want everyone seated together in the same section.
• General admission: Some events may offer general admission seating, giving guests more flexibility based on the event setup.

Getting Ready for Your Ferrell Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking lots and entry lines can build before popular basketball games.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for popular basketball games, as parking lots and entry lines build ahead of tip-off.
• Wear the right footwear. Ferrell Center has a standard arena concourse and bowl stairs to reach seats, so comfortable shoes make moving through the venue easier.
• Plan for the weather outside. Ferrell Center is an indoor, climate-controlled venue, but weather can still affect parking and the walk to the arena.
• Know your entrance. Looking at your section before you arrive helps you choose the nearest entrance, while the single-bowl layout keeps navigation simple once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
