The William Nicks Building is a 6,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Prairie View, Texas.[1] It is home to the Prairie View A&M University Panthers basketball team, volleyball team, and commencement.[2] As part of renovation projects in 2011-2012, every seat is chairback. Locker rooms were renovated in 2014. The building is nicknamed the "Baby Dome" as a result of its structural configuration.[3]
