BADMINTON

Screaming speed, lightning-quick reactions, pinpoint accuracy,grace and subtlety – Badminton is a complex game withdemanding conditions, conditions available at Maples Pavilion onthe campus of Stanford University.

Maples Pavilion features the ceiling height necessary forBadminton’s high lobs. Its air-handling equipment can be turnedoff so as not to disturb the flight of the shuttlecock, yet because of its below-grade design, Maples Pavilion will still maintaincomfortable temperatures, even in summer. And as anyone who hasever attended a collegiate basketball game in Maples will tell you,

its intimate seating for 7,000 spectators creates one of the most electrifying atmospheres inthe nation, a fitting atmosphere for a sport that has captured the imagination and passionof huge audiences throughout the world.

Finally, Maples Pavilion offers its own excellent support facilities and those in theimmediately adjacent Arrillaga Family Sports Center, including warm-up courts, athletesfacilities, media facilities and Olympic Family Lounge.

As part of the Olympic Stadium cluster at Stanford, Maples Pavilion will provide anopportunity to showcase one of the most exciting and popular sports in the world.
