COLLEGE

The City of Waco and Baylor University plan on building a new basketball facility and riverfront expansion. Waco Mayor Dillon Meek says the city has been working closely with Baylor to develop plans for a multi-million-dollar development in the heart of downtown.

The plan is for the “Foster Pavilion” to be built on the other side of Interstate 35 from McLane Stadium off of University Parks Drive between Franklin Avenue and I-35 and become the new home for Baylor basketball.

They canceled a scheduled game between Stephen F. Austin and Jackson State University due to issues with COVID-19. They will not reschedule the game for today.
