William J. Nicks Building
The William Nicks Building is a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Prairie View, Texas. It is home to the Prairie View A&M University Panthers basketball team, volleyball team, and commencement. It is named for Billy Nicks, the school's longtime football coach and athletic director. 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.
