About Stadium

An indoor sports and entertainment arena located in Anaheim, California, the Honda Center primarily serves as home for the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks.

The stadium was originally named Anaheim Arena before the naming rights of the facility were sold to Arrowhead and then again to Honda who changed the name of the stadium to its current name, the Honda Center.

The final price tag of the stadium came out to $123 million upon its completion in 1993 and seats 17,174 fans for Anaheim Ducks’ home hockey games.

In addition to being the home-ice for the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, the facility has also been the home location for a number of other major sports teams like the LA Clippers who played there from 1994 until 19999, and the UCLA Bruins who played for 2011 and 2012.
