BELLMONT HALL

In 1972, The University of Texas opened Bellmont Hall—named for the University’s first athletic director L. Theo Bellmont—which was built into the support structure of the west side upper deck at Texas Memorial Stadium. Bellmont Hall stands 500 feet tall with 11 floors and was originally constructed to house Texas Athletics offices, physical education facilities, and lecture halls.
