Foster Pavilion is a multi-purpose arena on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

[7] The following month, it was announced that the arena would be built as part of a new, $700 million multi-use development along the Brazos River in downtown Waco, across Interstate 35 from the University's campus.
[8] Alongside this, it was announced that the City of Waco would provide an additional $65 million in funding, which would be used to add elements to the arena to allow its use as a city-run concert venue 90 days per year.
