Seating & views at Moody Center
Moody Center seats about 10,763 for Texas basketball, with a lower bowl wrapped by premium spaces: 44 suites, including Porch Suites pushed out over the baselines and corners, 57 loge boxes and several clubs, including one behind the lower north sideline. The Corral student section sits in the lower bowl near the floor, but it is small for a school of Texas's size, so latecomers can end up in an upper-level standing balcony.
