Facilities
Most of the university's major sports facilities are located along Cullen Boulevard, the central traffic artery through the campus. At times in the past, some of the university's teams have played their home games at off-campus venues such as the Astrodome and Rice Stadium. The men's golf program competes off campus because it does not have a dedicated golf course on campus. University of Houston's current sports facilities include the following:
- Robertson Stadium - football and soccer
- Hofheinz Pavilion - basketball
- Cougar Field - baseball
- Cougar Softball Stadium - softball
- Tom Tellez Track at Carl Lewis International Complex - outdoor track & field
- John E. Hoff Courts - tennis
- CRWC Natatorium - swimming
- Athletics/Alumni Center - all sports
- Yeoman Field House - indoor track & field
The Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer was a tenant at Robertson Stadium until 2011. The stadium hosted the MLS Western Conference Final in 2006 and 2007.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
