Firestone Fieldhouse

Firestone Fieldhouse

Firestone Fieldhouse is a multipurpose arena located in Malibu, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. It was built in 1973 as the home of the Pepperdine University Waves basketball and volleyball teams, who still play at the Fieldhouse today. It seats 3,104 for sporting events and up to 5,000 for concerts, graduation ceremonies and lectures.

The fieldhouse, a modern facility, was officially dedicated on September 20, 1975 by President Gerald R. Ford. A year later 4,500 fans crowded the Fieldhouse to see Pepperdine defeat the UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball team by a score of 93-91.

The floor at Firestone Fieldhouse, which measures convert|110|ft|m by 110 feet (12,100 square feet) has been replaced twice. The current floor at the arena is a wooden floor. The arena features two team locker rooms and a smaller locker room for officials. There are two concession stands and two scoreboards (one on each end) at the Fieldhouse.
