Honda Center is one of the premier entertainment and sports venues in the country. Owned by the city of Anaheim, what’s now known as the Honda Center officially opened as “Anaheim Arena” on June 17, 1993. A few days later, Anaheim Arena welcomed fans for the first time with a sold out Barry Manilow concert on June 19, 1993. Later that year, the venue was renamed “Arrowhead Pond” and hosted the first Mighty Ducks of Anaheim game.
A new era began in 2005 as Henry and Susan Samueli took ownership of both the team and the venue management company, Anaheim Arena Management, LLC. In 2006, the official name of the arena changed to “Honda Center”, and the team’s name was changed to the Anaheim Ducks.
In addition to professional hockey, the Honda Center annually hosts top-name concerts, exciting sporting events and family favorites such as the Harlem Globetrotters and Stars on Ice. In just the past few years, capacity crowds filled Honda Center for world-class acts such as The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Fleetwood Mac, Ariana Grande, Twenty One Pilots and more. Since its opening, the arena has hosted over 3,500 events and more than 35 million guests have walked through its doors.
The hockey arena has a capacity of 17,732.
