Reed Arena is a sports arena and entertainment venue located at the corner of Olsen Boulevard and Kimbrough Boulevard in College Station, Texas, in the United States. This facility is used for Texas A&M University basketball games and commencement ceremonies, concerts, trade shows, family entertainment, and Texas A&M student programs. Reed Arena's main floor is 32 feet below ground level. Aggie basketball is gaining a reputation with the help of the student fans called the Reed Rowdies. The building replaced the G. Rollie White Coliseum, and is named for Dr. & Mrs. Chester J. Reed, an A&M graduate who donated assets to the college for funding of the new arena.

In February 2006, the 12th Man Foundation, a fund raising organization associated with Texas A&M Athletics, announced plans for an effort to build the Cox-McFerrin Center, a 40,000 square foot addition to Reed Arena, providing new men's and women's basketball locker rooms, practice gyms, and player lounges. On February 2, 2007, the A&M System Board of Regents approved a revised plan, increasing the size of the facility to 69,400 square feet and a total cost of $21.5 million.[1]
