The home of Sul Ross State men's and women's basketball along with volleyball, the Gallego Center is named in honor of former U.S. representative for the 23rd congressional district in Texas, Sul Ross State alum, Alpine native, and the former 13th President of Sul Ross State — Pete P. Gallego. The Gallego Center hosts a number of university and community events each year.
The Gallego Center greets students and visitors as they pull into the southeast entrance of the Sul Ross State campus.
Located on a 4.85-acre site next to the Graves-Pierce Complex, the GPC is home to intramural sporting events and other major activities at the university.
The center provides seating for 3,900 when used for graduation, assembly and concerts, or 3,200 permanent armchair seats for competition basketball and other sports events.
In addition to a gymnasium with fixed seating, concessions and other public facilities, the Graves-Pierce Complex features four racquetball courts and an exercise track that are all located on the mezzanine level overlooking the practice court.
