About Rice Arena

Rice Arena, officially known as Tudor Fieldhouse, is a multi-purpose arena on the Rice University campus in Houston. With a seating capacity of 5,208 after the 2008 renovation, it serves as the home court for Rice Owls men's basketball, women's basketball, and volleyball. The venue blends historic college athletics charm with modern amenities, making it a reliable destination for fans and families alike.

Whether you’re planning a night with collegiate hoops, a postseason volleyball match, or a campus event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining. Secure your seats through trusted sources, and explore the Rice Owls seating map to pick your view before you buy.

Accessibility and convenience are priorities at Rice Arena. General parking is located in the Orange Lots, with the Greenbriar Lot offering free parking for eligible events. Single-game parking typically costs the best available price, and Owl Club donor lots provide additional options for members. Lots open 90 minutes before game time to give you plenty of ramp-up time for tailgates, pregame rituals, and parking pace.

Getting there is straightforward: METRORail serves the Rice campus, and Rice offers campus transit as well as free rail access for some events. The closest Dryden/TMC METRORail stop provides convenient access to the arena. If you’re driving, plan to arrive early to secure parking, then stroll to the arena entrances for a quick scan of your ticket and a seamless entry.

Nearby hotels and dining options help complete your visit. Courtyard by Marriott Houston Rice University is a short distance away at 2929 Westpark Dr, Houston, TX 77005. Rice also lists additional nearby options, including InterContinental and Hilton properties in the Medical Center area, for guests seeking extended stays or convenient access to campus. For meals before or after games, you’ll find a range of casual to sit-down options on or near the Rice campus, plus popular Houston dining in the surrounding areas.

Notable events at Rice Arena have included the Crowne Plaza Rice Invitational (volleyball) at Autry Court and historic matchups such as the 2012 Baylor vs. Rice game at Tudor Fieldhouse. Looking ahead, Rice has been named a host for NCAA Men’s Basketball Regional play at Toyota Center in 2026, underscoring the arena’s place in college basketball history.
