Brewer Fieldhouse held around 6,000, and with incoming enrollment, students demanded a new and larger basketball arena. With the Hearnes Center, 12,600 could be seated.

In 2003, Hearnes center had been home to MU athletics for almost four decades. However, at the time, Mizzou Arena was under construction and scheduled to open in 2004. This is one of the Savitar's last looks at Hearnes.

Construction of the new basketball arena began in 1969, officially opening in 1972. Construction strikes and the lack of funds caused the auditorium's slow development. The 1971 Kansas-Missouri game was supposed to close Brewer Fieldhouse as the basketball arena, but Hearnes hadn't yet been fully built.

Added in 1989, the Student Recreation Center became an integral part of MU athletics. The addition marked the 100th anniversary of the oldest structure in the athletic complex--Rothwell Gymnasium.

Previously, Mizzou Basketball played at the Hearnes Center. In 2003, construction began for a new arena. Mizzou Arena can be also known as Paige Sports Arena.
