About Liacouras Center

Liacouras Center is an indoor multi-purpose arena in Philadelphia that opened in 1997 (originally known as the Apollo of Temple) and was renamed in 2000 for former Temple president Peter J. Liacouras. Owned by Temple University and managed by Oak View Group (OVG360) alongside Temple University’s campus operations, the arena seats about 10,200 for basketball, with a maximum of approximately 10,206 and reduced configurations for concerts and smaller events.

As the premier indoor arena on Temple’s campus, Liacouras Center is best known as the home of Temple University Owls Men’s Basketball (NCAA Division I, American Athletic Conference), while also serving as a consistent stop for touring entertainment. The event calendar spans college basketball, concerts across genres, comedy, family shows, boxing and combat sports, commencement ceremonies, and other special events—delivered in a bowl-style arena setting designed for strong sightlines and a lively crowd atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Liacouras Center is located at 1776 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19121 — directly on Temple University’s Main Campus along North Broad Street.

Transit: Liacouras Center is highly transit-accessible via SEPTA. The Broad Street Line serves North Broad Street, with Cecil B. Moore Station directly adjacent to Temple’s campus. SEPTA Regional Rail service at Temple University Station is also nearby, and numerous bus routes run along Broad Street—making public transit a practical option for both games and concerts.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby parking is available through Temple University parking garages and lots serving the arena, with event parking coordinated through Temple’s campus operations. Street parking in the surrounding area is limited, so planning ahead helps—especially on event nights when traffic increases on Broad Street.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical along Broad Street and adjacent campus streets. After events, expect typical urban congestion as crowds exit at once and vehicles queue for pickups.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging options are limited immediately adjacent to the arena. Most visitors choose hotels in Center City Philadelphia, which offers the widest selection and is an easy trip to North Broad Street by car or via the Broad Street Line.

Venue Navigation

Liacouras Center follows a familiar indoor arena layout—an efficient, bowl-style design that makes it easier to focus on your section and entry plan before you arrive, especially when crowds build for Temple basketball or a popular tour stop.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance fronts North Broad Street, and the arena is integrated into the larger Liacouras Center complex on Temple’s campus, making it a prominent arrival point along the street.

Concourse Levels: Seating is arranged in a standard arena bowl with lower and upper seating levels surrounding the court/floor, with event configurations adjusted based on the type of show.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and guest services are available, and the venue provides accessibility and sensory-inclusivity information for guests.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests from the main concourse to seating sections using standard indoor-arena wayfinding. Arriving early helps you get oriented, locate your section, and handle concessions before the event begins.

Liacouras Center Seating Guide

Because Liacouras Center hosts both basketball and touring entertainment, the seating setup can change by event type—basketball uses a court-focused bowl, while many concerts add floor seating for closer stage access. Understanding the lower vs. upper levels helps you balance view, atmosphere, and price before you buy.

Best Seats at Liacouras Center

• Best value: Upper-level sections — typically the most affordable way to get in the door, with a full-bowl perspective that works well for both basketball and many seated shows.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl seats for Temple basketball; floor seating for concerts — ideal when you want maximum proximity to the stage or court.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline/center sections — often the sweet spot for basketball and many seated events, combining strong sightlines with the kind of in-the-building energy that defines a good arena night.
• Premium and suite options: Premium seating is available, offering an upgraded experience for select events.
• For groups: Group accommodations are available, and planning early is the best way to secure seats together for popular games and high-demand tours.
• General admission (when available): Some concerts offer general admission floor configurations, creating a more flexible, high-energy viewing experience close to the stage.

Getting Ready for Your Liacouras Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make the night run significantly smoother — especially at an urban, transit-friendly arena on a busy Broad Street corridor.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early to account for Broad Street congestion and parking fill on event nights, or take the Broad Street Line as a reliable alternative to driving.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect typical arena walking on the concourse and stairs between seating levels—comfortable, supportive shoes make moving around easier.
• Know your entrance. Checking your ticket details and knowing your section in advance helps streamline entry at the Broad Street main entrance.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue’s bag guidelines before you go helps you pack correctly and move through screening faster.
