Health and Physical Education Arena

Health and Physical Education Arena (H&PE Arena) is an 8,100-seat multi-purpose arena in Houston, Texas on the campus of Texas Southern University.

H&PE Arena

It was designed by Houston, TX architect Willie C. Jordan Jr. and built in 1989 and is home to the Texas Southern University Tigers basketball and volleyball teams.^[1]^[2] The arena played host to Houston Cougars men's basketball games during the 2017–18 season, as well as all Houston Cougars women's basketball home games in the same season,^[3] due to renovations of their arena, and will host both teams for at least the first month of the 2018-19 season due to construction delays to the Cougars home arena.^[4] Originally, the plan was to play most of the Cougars' men's conference games as well as a non-conference game against Arkansas at Toyota Center, with the remainder of the games at TSU.^[5] However, all of the games were eventually scheduled for H&PE Arena.^[6] H&PE Arena had previously hosted Houston's first-round game against Akron in the 2017 National Invitation Tournament due to the renovations at UH.^[7]^[8] The arena will also hold some games for at least the 2018 JBA season, as it'd represent the city of Houston for the Houston Ballers in the Junior Basketball Association.
