“We need a new facility. Our facility is antiquated and just the thought of a new facility will enhance the program. A new facility will improve our chances of signing a top recruit. Perception today is everything and with today’s recruits, they expect quality in all aspects of the program. We feel this will strongly help with our recruiting.”

Renee LadnerWomen’s Head Coach

“Teamwork, sacrifice and commitment, that’s what it takes to be successful on and off the court and that’s what it’s going to take to make this campaign successful. We have an opportunity to build a first-class facility here at Ole Miss. The Basketball Practice Facility was a great start and has been a tremendous asset to us and our training, preparation and recruiting efforts. This new arena will elevate our program to the next level. We have to make this happen”

The Forward Together campaign sprang to life with the idea of building a new home for our men’s and women’s basketball programs. It has since evolved into much more, but the foundation of this effort is unmistakable: build a first-class basketball facility, create an unforgettable game-day experience and elevate Ole Miss Basketball to national prominence.

The Forward Together campaign sets forth a bold, long-term vision for the future of Ole Miss Athletics. Paramount to that effort will be the success of the Capital Gift Agreement (CGA) in our premium seating areas.

The CGA is a unique concept designed for the Ole Miss faithful that guarantees an array of unparalleled amenities and privileges over a ten-year period, beginning in 2015 and ending 2024. Outlined in the following pages you will discover that the CGA is an innovative way to provide long-term assurances to our loyal season ticket holders while also generating capital for the Forward Together campaign. This is an exclusive, unprecedented opportunity to obtain additional benefits for you and your family, while also contributing to the most ambitious campaign in Ole Miss Athletics.
