The Dignity Health Event Center is a multipurpose arena in Bakersfield, California. Having opened in December 2009 (as the Jam Events Center), it is home to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League.〔http://www.bakersfield.com/news/sports/jam/x292204254/With-completion-of-Jam-Events-Center-nearing-home-opener-is-pushed-back-to-Dec-3〕〔http://www.pr-inside.com/bakersfield-jam-opens-jam-events-center-r1636458.htm〕 Currently, the arena seats 500 people but it is expandable to 700. Jam owner Stan Ellis estimated in 2010 that the team is saving $500,000 a season by using the smaller facility rather than the much larger Rabobank Arena for home games. Because of the very small seating capacity, no single-game tickets are available for any contest.〔http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/03/03/bakersfield-jam-pairs-d-league-hoops-with-big-league-luxury/〕 This is also the team's practice facility. This dual use, while rare, can happen even in the D-League. Starting with the 2009-10 season, the Los Angeles D-Fenders shifted some home games to the Toyota Sports Center from the Staples Center. After a one-year hiatus for 2010-11, the D-Fenders resumed playing at the Toyota Sports Center in 2011-12. On August 21, 2012, it was announced that Dignity Health had signed a three-year naming rights deal with the Jam, changing the name to the Dignity Health Event Center effective immediately. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dignity Health Event Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
