Orange County's premier entertainment venue.
Honda Center stands as one of the premier entertainment and sports venues in the country. Opened in 1993, it is owned by the City of Anaheim and managed by Anaheim Arena Management, LLC. In addition to the 2007 Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks, the arena is also home to the Big West Basketball Tournament. 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, Justin Timberlake, Fleetwood Mac, Ariana Grande, Twenty One Pilots and more. Since opening, the arena has hosted over 4,000 events and more than 39 million guests have walked through its doors. Owned by the city of Anaheim, Honda Center officially opened as Anaheim Arena on June 19, 1993 with a sold out Barry Manilow concert. In October of that same year, the venue was renamed Arrowhead Pond and hosted the first Mighty Ducks of Anaheim game. The year 2005 began a new era 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, along with the team to Anaheim Ducks. Honda Center continues to make venue upgrades and improvements around the building, all in the interest of creating a great experience for every visiting guest. Currently, replacement of the building’s bowl seating is underway with the first phase to be completed by this fall. Over the past 25 years, Anaheim Arena Management owner’s Henry and Susan Samueli have invested over $100 million dollars into state-of-the-art facility upgrades including the 15,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor entertainment space called the Shock Top Terrace. In fall of 2017, the building’s South Entrance was expanded to add 10,000-square-feet of gathering space and features four new food & beverage concepts, including the building’s first in-the-round bar with 14 points of service getting fans back to the action faster. Twenty-five years later, Honda Center continues to prove itself as the top venue in Orange County for fans to experience the best in music, sports, and family entertainment.
