Maples Pavilion is a 7,392-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California. Opened in early 1969, Maples underwent a $30 million renovation in March 2004 and reopened ahead of schedule, in time for conference play that December. It was named after its principal donor, Roscoe Maples, a member of the class of 1904. Prior to 1969, Stanford played at the Old Pavilion, opened in 1922. On October 14, 2010, the Dalai Lama advocated a secular approach to compassion to a standing room only crowd.
