Moody Coliseum
Serving as the primary home for the Dallas Chapparals, SMU’s Moody Coliseum is on the smaller side compared to the other arenas on this list. In fact, as someone who recently attended a graduation there, it even felt small for that ceremony. Luckily for the short-lived Chapparals, they didn’t need to worry about size as they usually struggled to fill in the seats. Some games here even struggled to go above a hundred tickets sold. Dallas was unfortunately not a basketball city.
Accor Arena

Fitting a similar amount of people as the Frost Bank Center, Accor Arena is a marvel to look at. However, its low ceilings are clearly made more fitting for concerts (light effects) than for basketball games, as the low ceiling pushes actual seats outwards and away from the court. There is no doubt that the Spurs will be given the crowd’s favor anytime they play here. The importance of the arena will grow the more the Spurs play here.
