3. Quicken Loans Arena (formerly called Gund Arena) (1994–present)

The Quickens Loans Arena is a multipurpose arena in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Until 2005, it was called the Gund Arena, named for Gordon Gund, a former owner of the cavaliers, after he paid for the naming rights. It is home to the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA, the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL, and the Cleveland Gladiators of the AFL.

The arena opened with a concert by Billy Joel on October 17, 1994 and is owned by the Gateway Economic Development Corporation, which leases it to the Cavaliers. The arena replaced the coliseum at Richfield which was located south of Cleveland near Akron. In the summer of 2005, Dan Gilbert, the majority owner of the team renovated the arena, installing new seats, state of the art scoreboards, video systems, sound systems, arena graphics, signage, security, locker rooms and suite upgrades, before the start of the 2005-06 season.

The arena seats 20562 for basketball, including 2000 in the club seats and 92 luxury suites. In addition to its professional sports tenants, the arena has been home to the Mid-American Conference’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments since 2000. More commonly known as the “MAC Madness”, it has become a strong draw for the arena. The men's semi-final and championship games routinely draw 10,000-15,000 attendees.

Moreover, the Quickens Loans Arena was the site of WWF SummerSlam 1996, the 2000 US Figure Skating Championships, the American version of WWF No Mercy 1999, WWF Invasion 2001, Survivor Series 2004, several episodes of Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown!, and Extreme Championship Wrestling. It is also scheduled to host WWE Unforgiven (2008). Major national events held at the facility include the 1997 NBA All-Star Game, the 2007 NCAA Women's Final Four, and the 2009 United States Figure Skating Championships. It hosted games 3 and 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals.
