The arena is home to the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. When not in use by one of Denver's sports teams, the building frequently serves as a concert venue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://search.cityguide.aol.com/denver/entertainment/pepsi-center/v-101448627 ) "...Affectionately referred to as "The Can" by some..."〕 The arena is named for its chief corporate sponsor, PepsiCo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pepsicenter.com/kse/company/about-kse/ )〕 ==Construction== Pepsi Center was constructed as part of a large six-year sporting venue upgrade in Denver along with Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, and Sports Authority Field at Mile High (formerly Invesco Field at Mile High), home of the Denver Broncos. The complex was constructed to be readily accessible. The arena is situated at Speer Boulevard, a main thoroughfare in downtown Denver, and is served by 2 nearby exits off Interstate 25. A light rail station is on the western side of the complex. Ground was broken for the arena on November 20, 1997, on the site. Its completion in October 1999 was marked by a Celine Dion concert.〔 Also included in the complex are a basketball practice facility used by the Nuggets, and the ''Blue Sky Grill'', a restaurant accessible from within and outside the Center itself. The atrium of the building houses a suspended sculpture depicting various hockey and basketball athletes in action poses. Before the construction of Pepsi Center, the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche played in McNichols Sports Arena, a building that has since been torn down to serve as a parking lot for nearby Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Coincidentally, prior to the Avalanche relocating to Denver, the then-Quebec Nordiques played at another arena to which Pepsi owned naming rights: the Colisée Pepsi. 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「Pepsi Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
