In 1965, the arena was renamed Moody Coliseum in memory of William Lewis Moody Jr. of Galveston. The Coliseum is used for myriad events, including NCA Cheer & dance team, and basketball camps throughout the summer. Several concerts and other sporting events have been held at Moody Coliseum in recent years. In the spring of 1992, President George H. W. Bush addressed SMU's seniors during their graduation ceremony at Moody Coliseum. Bob Dylan performed at Moody Coliseum in September 1965. The performance was marked by Dylan first performing as an acoustic solo artist, followed by an intermission. When he returned to the stage following the intermission, he was backed by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The Rolling Stones played Moody Coliseum during their Fall 1969 tour of the United States. Moody Coliseum was the site of the Southwest Conference Post-Season Classic in 1976 and hosted NCAA Regional tournament games, the World Championship of Tennis Finals, the Virginia Slims of Dallas tennis championship, the Rolex National Indoor Intercollegiate Tennis Championships, the McDonald's High School All-American All-Star Game and the NABC College Basketball All-Star Game during the 1986 Final Four held in Dallas.
