Pauley Pavilion - Home of the Bruins

PAULEY PAVILION

Home to Bruin athletic teams since 1965, Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom is regarded as one of the finest all-around collegiate facilities in the nation and has been the site of numerous illustrious events, from NCAA Championships, Olympic gymnastics, presidential debates, and award shows. Pauley Pavilion was introduced to the University at the June 1965 Commencement exercises, at which time it was dedicated and named for Regent Edwin W. Pauley, the principal donor to the building fund. Total cost of the Pavilion was provided as follows: $2,000,000 by the State, $1,000,000 by the student body and in excess of $2,000,000 by the alumni with $1,000,000 of the alumni contribution donated on a matching basis by Regent Pauley. The 126-by-226-foot floor of the Pavilion accommodates three complete basketball courts. The Pavilion has a basketball capacity of 13,800. The single-game attendance record of 13,478 was set on Feb. 12, 1997 when the Bruin men hosted Duke (women’s record of 9,530 set on Jan. 23, 1999 vs. USC). In October of 1990, a highly-efficient lighting system was installed that doubled the lighting capacity in the Pavilion, and in October of 1999, a new video scoreboard was installed in the multi-purpose facility. On Dec. 20, 2003, the floor in Pauley Pavilion was dedicated “Nell and John Wooden Court”, and players from virtually all of his teams joined Coach Wooden to celebrate the occasion. Some of the top names in the history of college basketball - players such as Ann Meyers, Denise Curry, Natalie Williams, Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Bill Walton, Ed O’Bannon, Candace Parker, Marques Johnson, Reggie Miller, Baron Davis, Earl Watson, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Jason Kapono, Michael Jordan and Pete Maravich and coaches such as John Wooden, Dean Smith and Pat Summitt - have appeared in Pauley. The arena, along with the newly-renovated gym in the Student Activities Center, are the homes of the best “pick up” games in Los Angeles, featuring NBA stars. In addition, the 1984 Olympic gymnastics competition and a historic table tennis match between the United States and China have been held in the Pauley. Entertainers such as Bob Dylan, Bob Hope, Henry Mancini, Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Eric Clapton, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Who, Guns N’ Roses and the Grateful Dead have also graced the Pavilion. The Pavilion has been the site of two Women’s Basketball Final Fours (1978 AIAW and 1984 NCAA Championships), four NCAA first and second women’s basketball NCAA Tournament rounds (2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018), three NCAA first and second round men’s basketball playoffs (1979, 1981 and 1988), five NCAA men’s basketball West Regionals (1966-69-73-76-84), two NCAA women’s basketball West Regionals (1985, 1995), 13 NCAA men’s volleyball championships (1970-71-75-77-79-84-85-87-89-93-96-00-05-18), three NCAA women’s volleyball championships (1981, 1984, 1991), two NCAA men’s gymnastics championships (1984, 1987), and three NCAA women’s gymnastics championships (1984, 1998, 2004). The Pavilion is also used for intramural sports and Fine Arts events throughout the school year. In September of 2009, Pauley Pavilion played host to a WNBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury. Other major events held in Pauley Pavilion were a 1988 Presidential Debate between George Bush and Michael Dukakis, the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, VH1 Rock Honors, several Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, the 1991 U.S. Olympic Festival basketball and gymnastics competitions and UCLA’s 75th anniversary convocation in 1994, during which President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker. Pauley Pavilion was closed for the 2011-12 season as it underwent a multi-million dollar renovation with a target completion date of Fall 2012. Women’s basketball, along with men’s and women’s volleyball and gymnastics, played in the John Wooden Center while Pauley Pavilion was closed. It is located at 301 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095, phone number 310-825-4546.
