Honda Center
Honda Center (formerly known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Anaheim, California. The arena is home to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League. For ice hockey games, the arena is referred to as “The Pond at Honda Center.”
Originally named the Anaheim Arena during construction, it opened on June 17, 1993 at a cost of US$123 million. Locally based Arrowhead Water paid $15 million for the naming rights over 10 years in October 1993. In the short period of time after the Mighty Ducks franchise was awarded and before the naming rights deal with Arrowhead, Disney referred to the Arena as the Pond of Anaheim. In October 2006, Honda, whose American headquarters are based in Torrance, paid $60 million for the naming rights over 15 years, and renewed the deal for another decade in 2020.
