Baylor+ is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of its first original film, "Celebrating Ferrell: 35 Years of Baylor Basketball."
This documentary will take fans on a nostalgic journey through the venue’s most memorable moments, including the building’s first event with Ronald Reagan in 1988, the Baylor women’s basketball team’s run of dominance, sellouts and lots of confetti over the last two decades, and the rebirth of the men’s basketball program under Scott Drew.
Celebrating Ferrell will premiere at 8 p.m. CT on Tuesday, December 19 – exclusively on Baylor+.
