Texas Volleyball plays all its home matches in historic Gregory Gym, one of the finest collegiate volleyball facilities in the country. The site that produced some of the most memorable moments in UT history made its much-anticipated return in 1998 after an eight-year layoff which saw Texas split time between UT's Recreational Sports Center and the Frank Erwin Center.
The state of the art Gregory Gym features a friendlier, roomier environment for players, coaches and fans alike. Spacious locker rooms, offices, meeting rooms and a players' lounge were constructed, as well as a new sound system -- both on the court and in the team room -- and a new playing surface. Longhorns fans are treated to upper-level seating that puts them right on top of the action. Additionally, fans on the floor level are treated to seat backs for more comfortable viewing. The 4,000-seat facility also is home to the University of Texas Recreational Sports Department that provides students and UT athletes with two fully-equipped weight rooms, an eight-lane pool, 10 racquetball courts, an exercise lounge, a climbing walll and a three-lane track that overlooks four full-length basketball/volleyball courts.
One thing that hasn't changed about the facility is the tremendous support the Longhorns receive from their fans. Nearly 500,000 spectators have turned out since the 1982 season for an average attendance of more than 1,500 per match. And the Longhorns have sent their fans home happy with victories in more than 82 percent of those matches.
