Stabler Arena is a 6,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States. Owned and operated by Lehigh University, it is located on the school's Goodman Campus. It was named for Donald B. Stabler, a 1930 Lehigh graduate who was the founder of Stabler Companies Inc. and a member of the university's Board of Trustees for over 30 years. He and his wife Dorothy were the primary donors for the facility. The arena officially opened with Lehigh's Commencement Exercises on May 27, 1979. Its first public event was Holiday on Ice in November later that same year.
Famous quotes containing the word arena:
“... often the empowering strategies we use in the arena of love and friendship are immediately dropped when we come into the arena of politicized difference—when in fact some of those strategies are useful and necessary.”
