The Peter J. Liacouras Center is a 10,224-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, United States. The arena opened in 1997 as The Apollo of Temple and was rededicated on February 13, 2000 in honor of Temple University's president. It is home to the Temple Owls basketball team, replacing McGonigle Hall, the school's former on-campus arena one block north.
