Honda Center, Anaheim
The Honda Center (formerly known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) is an indoor arena. It is home to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League.
The idea for a large indoor arena in Anaheim emerged from entertainment attorney Neil Papiano, who in 1987 randomly selected two of the city's councilmen from the telephone directory to sell them his idea. The arena opened on June 19, 1993, with a Barry Manilow concert as its first event.
The arena seats up to 17,174 for its primary tenant, the Ducks. It takes only five hours to convert Honda Center from a sporting arena to an 8,400-seat amphitheater. There are 84 luxury suites in the building, which has hosted 17.5 million people, as of 2003. In 2005, the arena became the first in the U.S. to have two full levels of 360° ribbon displays installed.
Honda Center has the second highest gross ticket sales from special events on the West Coast. The arena will host indoor volleyball during the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Anaheim Introduction Walking Tour
An integral part of California's Orange County, Anaheim is known globally as the home of Disneyland Resort. The word “Anaheim” derives from a blend of 'Ana' (after the nearby Santa Ana River) and 'heim,' a common German place name meaning 'home', as the city was founded in 1857 by fifty German families.
