“It’s a tremendous home court advantage. The students are real close to the floor, and they have a real effect. I’d say Stanford is right up there among the toughest places to play.” Former Arizona head coach

One of the best environments for college basketball can be found at Maples Pavilion. Built in 1969, Maples Pavilion has been host to many of the most memorable collegiate games in the nation over recent years. Maples Pavilion underwent a $26-million renovation that was completed in 2004-05, ushering in a new era of great basketball that benefited both student-athletes and fans alike. Maples Pavilion serves as home for the men’s and women’s basketball teams, along with women’s volleyball program. The men’s and women’s gymnastics squads also occasionally host home meets in the facility. The renovation, financed entirely through private donations, has enhanced the college athletic experience for both student-athletes and fans. The facelift included a new covered 29,000-square-foot concourse around the exterior of the seating area, state-of-the-art concession and restroom facilities with speaker systems, in addition to a new four-sided, state-of-the-art, center-hung scoreboard with video and replay capability. The concourse is physically separated from the original building. The gap between the original build- ing and the new concourse was designed for two reasons: to preserve the integrity of the architectural design and create an open garden feel that is present throughout buildings on the Stanford campus. The renovation also included the new playing court floor, upgraded locker rooms, student-athlete lounges, a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning room and training room, a media workroom, photography office and Courtside Room reserved for banquets. The seating configuration features a lower bowl seating area that replaced the old floor and loge sec- tions. The new lower seating level includes padded stadium seats that replaced the wood bleachers in the old floor setup. With the upgraded facilities and the improved seating area at floor level, the home team and fans experience the best playing atmosphere in the Pac-10. Stanford played its first game in Maples Pavilion on Jan. 3, 1969, losing to BYU 95-89. The following night, Stanford rebounded for a 94-78 victory over BYU. The formal dedication game was Mar. 1, 1969, as Stanford dropped a 75-66 decision to USC. The 7,329-seat structure serves the entire university as a multi-purpose facility. It was originally built at a cost of $3.3 million. It was named after its principal donor, Roscoe Maples, a member of the 1904 Stanford class. The pavilion is utilized throughout the year by university staff and students for recreational and intramural purposes. In addition to intercollegiate competition, physical education classes are held in Maples Pavilion. The pavilion is also used for banquets and lectures. Maples Pavilion has earned a reputation as one of the finest facilities in the country, routinely hosting NCAA Championship events. During the 2009-10 campaign, Maples Pavilion will serve as the host site for the following postseason events: NCAA Women’s Volleyball Regionals, NCAA Women’s Basketball first and second rounds and the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship.

“One of the best things about Maples Pavilion is the Sixth Man Club and their Sixth Man Club support of our team. It’s a great feeling to hit the court and hear our fans.” During the 1993-94 campaign, enthusiasm reached another high level with the introduction of the Cardinal Sixth Man Club, the brainchild of the Former Stanford guard Mitch Johnson Stanford athletics marketing department. For $10, a student would get a Cardinal Sixth Man T-shirt, center seats at all Stanford home games and free food before the game at a Palo Alto sports restaurant. When the Sixth Man Club first started, only 30 students signed on. How times have changed. From 30 members, the club grew to 100, then 350 and almost 2000 during the 2007-08 season. The Stanford Sixth Man Club is the official student fan club for Stanford men’s basketball. The Sixth Man Club is nationally recognized as one of the top student sections. In addition to making Maples one of the most intimidating arenas in the nation, the Sixth Man Club has become one of the most popular activities for Stanford Students. Former Arizona head coach Lute Olson says Maples Pa- vilion is a tough environment for visiting teams because of the Sixth Man Club. “It’s a tremendous home court advantage,” says Olson. “The students are real close to the floor, and they have a real effect. I’d say Stanford is right up there among the toughest places to play.”

The Sixth Man Alumni To continue its goal of having the best student fan club in the nation, Stanford men’s basketball has created the Sixth Man Alumni program. Sixth Man Alumni will have exclusive access to a special allotment of tickets. With Maples Pavilion long sold out for men’s basketball games, this program offers a limited number of tickets to former Sixth Man Club Members.

Sixth Man Alumni Club and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital The Stanford men’s basketball program and the Sixth Man Club have adopted Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital as one of its priority charities. A special version of the Sixth Man Club shirt can be purchased by the general public at http://store.stanford.edu/6thman. Proceeds benefit the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford.

The headlines read, “Cardinal one of the school’s colors, not the bird. Triumphs O’er Blue and Gold.” Nine years after the Indian was dropped, Stanford still had not decided on a new mascot.

Pacific-10 Conference ® The Conference of Champions The Pacific-10 Conference continues to uphold its tradition as the “Conference of Champions” ®, claiming an incredible 166 NCAA team titles over the past 19 years, including 11 in 2008- 09, averaging nearly nine championships per academic year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-10’s success, with championships coming in 26 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA Championships in 43 of the last 49 years and finished second five times. Spanning nearly a century of outstanding athletics achievements, the Pac-10 has captured 380 NCAA titles (261 men’s, 119 women’s), far outdistancing the runner-up Big Ten Confer- ence’s 222 titles. The Conference’s reputation is further proven in the annual Learfield Sports Direc- tors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. Stanford won its 15th-consecutive Directors’ Cup in 2008-09, continuing its remarkable run. Eight of the top 25 Division I programs were Pac-10 member institutions: No. 1 Stanford, No. 4 USC, No. 7 California, No. 11 Washington, No. 12 Arizona State, No. 16 UCLA, No. 22 Oregon And No. 24 Arizona. The Pac-10 landed three programs in the top-10, one more than the second-place ACC, Big Ten and SEC (2). The Pac-10 captured a nation’s-best 11 NCAA titles in 2008-09. The total does not include a national title in men’s rowing, which Washington claimed by taking top honors at the IRA Championships Regatta. Men’s rowing is not a NCAA event. Seven of the 10 Conference institutions claimed NCAA team titles in 2008-09. NCAA team champions came from Arizona State (women’s golf), California (women’s swimming), Oregon (men’s cross country, men’s indoor track & field), UCLA (women’s water polo), Stanford (men’s gymnastics, women’s rowing), USC (men’s tennis, men’s water polo) and Washington (women’s cross country, softball).
