The arena seats 7,000 people and is located on Aldine-Bender Road just south of Beltway 8, a short distance from George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Greenspoint Mall.[1] It is named for M.O. Campbell, who served as AISD superintendent from 1973 to 1986 and who is credited with moving the district to a cash-basis operation.[2]
The Campbell Center has hosted many events in its history, including the men's and women's Southland Conference collegiate basketball tournament,[3] the Houston vs. the Nation high school basketball tournament (formerly the Academy National Invitational),[4] the Texas Class 4A and 5A Region III high school basketball playoffs,[5] the Class 5A high school Region III volleyball playoffs, and the University Interscholastic League state powerlifting tournament.[6]
