The building is the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League (AHL), and the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League (AFL). It also serves as a secondary arena for Cleveland State Vikings men's and women's basketball. The arena opened in October 1994 as part of the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex with adjacent Progressive Field, which opened in April of that year. It is named for the retail mortgage lender Quicken Loans, whose chairman and founder is Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert. Until August 2005, it was known as Gund Arena, named for Gordon Gund, former owner of the Cavaliers, after he paid for the naming rights. The Q replaced the Richfield Coliseum as the primary entertainment facility for the region and the home of the Cavaliers, and supplanted the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University, which opened in 1990, as the primary concert and athletic venue in downtown Cleveland. Quicken Loans Arena seats 20,562 people in its basketball configuration and up to 20,056 for ice hockey, making it the 3rd largest arena in the NBA by seating capacity and the 7th largest in total capacity. It is a frequent site for concerts and other athletic events such as the men's and women's basketball tournaments of the Mid-American Conference (MAC), hosting the men's tournament since 2000 and the women's tournament since 2001. It has also been the host venue for the 2007 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Final Four, opening and regional semifinal games in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 2000 and 2009. ==History== The arena is built on the site of the former Central Market, a fruit and vegetable market that dated back to 1856. It replaced the Richfield Coliseum, which was located in Richfield between Cleveland and Akron. Part of the Gateway Project to revitalize downtown Cleveland, the arena and sibling Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) were paid for with a sin tax on alcohol and tobacco. 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「Quicken Loans Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
