Anaheim Mighty Ducks
The Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim is an indoor
arena in Anaheim, California. The arena is home to the NHL's Anaheim
Ducks and was home of the former NLL's Anaheim Storm, which folded in
2005. It was completed in 1993 at a cost of $123 million. Arrowhead paid
$15 million for the naming rights over 10 years a few months after the
arena opened. Arrowhead's naming rights contract is currently up for
renewal and Anaheim Arena Management is looking into offers from other
companies along with Arrowhead Water for the naming rights to its
building.
It opened on June 19, 1993, its first event a Barry Manilow concert.
Since then, it has been host to a number of high profile events, such as
the Stanley Cup Finals (2003), WrestleMania XII & WrestleMania 2000
(XVI), the Royal Rumble in 1999, and UFC 59. It has also hosted high
profile concerts since, such as Shakira, Madonna, Queen, Britney Spears,
Hilary Duff, Paul McCartney, and many more. From 1994 to 1998, it served
as a second home for the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. Also served as the
home floor for the Anaheim Bullfrogs of Roller Hockey International from
1993 to 1999. The arena has also hosted the NCAA Men's Basketball
Tournament three times as the West Regional site - 1998, 2001, and 2003.
