WILLIAM & MARY HALL

127113

William & Mary Hall is the name of the building used for athletic events for the The College of William & Mary Tribe sports teams in Williamsburg, Virginia. Kaplan Arena is the 8,600-seat multi-purpose arena within the Hall. When the extra bleachers are pulled out, however, it seats up to 11,300. The arena's floor measures almost 24,000 square feet. Its name was granted in 2005 as part of a publicized funding effort by then-college president Gene Nichol. Between the 1920s and 1970s, the William & Mary Indians played basketball in Blow Gym, which now houses the graduate school of business, registrar, bursar, and other university offices. It hosted the last ECAC South men's basketball tournament in 1985 (the conference added more championships in the 1985–86 school year and was renamed the CAA). Retired jersey banners depicting some of W&M's own basketball greats hang from the rafters of Kaplan Arena. The arena opened in 1971 and is home to the Tribe basketball, gymnastics and volleyball teams.
