Temple University Athletics
Liacouras Center
HOME OF TEMPLE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Rededicated on February 13, 2000, and named in honor of former Temple President Peter J. Liacouras, The Liacouras Center, the home of Temple basketball, is one of the premier on-campus arenas in the country. In an historic partnership, the Pennsylvania state legislature provided capital funds - $31.8 million - to build a new multi-use complex, provided the University could raise $28.7 million from private sources. The total cost of the multi-building complex would be $107 million - an investment in Temple's future. Originally christened The Forum at The Apollo of Temple, the Board of Trustees voted in 2000 to change the building name to The Liacouras Center in honor of President Liacouras' retirement after 18 years as Temple's chief executive.
Already the site of some exciting events in its history, the Temple venue has hosted such sold-out concerts as Bob Dylan, along with the NBA Players Party prior to the 2002 NBA All-Star game and the 2002 Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Championship. The Liacouras Center was also the site of the 2003 NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships, the 2004 NCAA Women's Basketball First and Second Rounds, and the 2006 and 2011 NCAA Women's Basketball Regionals.
