Its name was granted in 2005 as part of a publicized funding effort by then-college presidentGene Nichol, initially applying only to the arena proper. Between the 1920s and 1970s, the William & Mary Indians played basketball inBlow Gym, which now houses the registrar, bursar, and other university offices. It hosted the lastECAC South men's basketball tournament in 1985 (the conference added more championships in the 1985–86 school year and was renamed theCAA). Retired jersey banners depicting some of W&M's own basketball greats hang from the rafters of Kaplan Arena. The arena opened in 1971 and is home to theTribe basketball,gymnastics andvolleyball teams.^[2]

TheHarlem Globetrotters androller derby, as well as other sports and entertainment acts, have also utilized Kaplan Arena as a venue over the years. "[People] in the Williamsburg area have seenauto shows,dog shows,Prince Charles,Glenn Close, aBilly Graham crusade,Bette Midler,Billy Joel,the 1976 televised presidential debates between candidatesJimmy Carter andGerald Ford, theShakespeare Players, athree-ring circus, and even aHowdy Doody show."^[2] It also hosted the9th G7 summit in 1983 for some of the world's political leaders, includingRonald Reagan,Margaret Thatcher, andFrançois Mitterrand. TheDalai Lama visited William & Mary on October 11, 2012, and spoke to a crowd of over 8,000 people at Kaplan Arena.^[5]

The first event held at the Kaplan Arena was a basketball game between the William & Mary Indians against the top 5 rankedUniversity of North Carolina Tar Heels. The event took place before construction of the building was complete. The most noticeable thing lacking during that game were doors on the back of the arena. Photos of the game show the sold out crowd dressed in winter coats and hats. The Tar Heels opted to spend halftime on their team bus as opposed to the unfinished locker room. North Carolina won the game 101-72.

The first musical concert in Kaplan Arena, performed in 1971, was bySly & the Family Stone. The record for the largest crowd to attend a concert was 13,514 forThe Police on January 25, 1982.^[2] Other notable performers have includedBruce Springsteen,The Pretenders,My Chemical Romance,Muse,R.E.M.,Sting,The Roots,The Grateful Dead,Nirvana,The Chainsmokers, Williamsburg nativeBruce Hornsby,10,000 Maniacs,Beach Boys,Chicago, theStone Temple Pilots, andKendrick Lamar.^[2]
