Air Canada Centre was originally intended to be a basketball facility for the Toronto Raptors. The Maple Leafs, at the time, were looking at building their own new arena at a different location. When the Raptors were sold to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertaiment, the new ownership had the building redesigned as a multifunction arena. Besides not having to find other Real Estate, the Maple Leafs would also be able to move out of the outdated Maple Leaf Gardens building. The redesign was completed and Air Canada Centre's groundbreaking was performed in February of 1997. The Air Canada Centre, often referred to simply as The ACC, is a multi-purpose arena located on Bay Street in downtown Toronto, Ontario. It is the home of the Toronto Raptors of the NBA, the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL, and the Toronto Rock of the NLL. It was also home to the Toronto Phantoms of the AFL during their brief existence. An early nickname for the venue was "The Hangar" due to the corporate sponsor of the arena, Air Canada. However this name was never quite adopted by the general public. The Air Canada Centre is most commonly referred to as simply "The ACC" and has been referenced as such on the official Air Canada Centre website.
