Strahan Arena — Attraction in San Marcos

Great stadium, but their handicapped seating is not that great and not much of it. Was there recently for my nieces graduation and they don't seem to have adequate handicapped seating for events. Their no re-entry rule is not very accommodating for handicapped individuals. We went out back to meet our niece and were told it was not that far to walk around the building to the parking lot. Well, it ended up being around 2 blocks. That's something I cannot do. I was able to get a concessions stand employee to help me get back into the building so I could exit out the front doors, but if it hadn't been for them, it would have been a long, painful walk. For a campus that says they strive to accommodate individual needs of students, faculty, staff, and visitors with disabilities, in compliance with the ADA, building access is definitely not one of them.

Thanks for directing us to handicap parking. But would have been easier to not walk to car TWICE, if they would have listed they don't allow water bottles to be brought inside. A sign should be put up for to notify those coming in. A big box of water bottles as "trash" upon entry not so appealing, only to see no water fountains inside but overpriced concession stand. Water is a resource disappearing and you make us throw it away? How much of the water you are selling is from boxes you collected as "trash" from unsuspecting visitors upon entering? Put up signs in parking lot viewable upon arrival and before exiting the vehicles. NO FOOD OR DRINKS TO BE BROUGHT INTO BUILDING. Especially for handicap ♿️ visitors not wanting to waste money and valuable resources throwing away water. We have medication to take. Have some courtesy. This is an educational campus so EDUCATE your visitors. Before they leave their cars!!! And $50 for half wilted flowers and...

had a fantastic experience at Strahan Arena (University Events Center) in San Marcos! This impressive 10,000-seat venue, built in 1982 and renovated in 2018, combines classic charm with modern upgrades. It’s home to Texas State’s basketball and volleyball teams, featuring hardwood floors, premium hospitality spaces like the Castro Legacy Club, plus new locker rooms and team facilities—a true game-day hub. 

The atmosphere inside is electric—intimate yet lively, making every game feel special.  Whether for sports, commencements, or special events, this arena brings the community together in style. A standout venue that blends spirit, tradition, and top-notch amenities—I’d highly recommend catching...
