What it's known for
The arena opened in 1994 as Gund Arena and has been called Quicken Loans Arena and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse before becoming Rocket Arena in 2025. A 2019 renovation added a glass-walled atrium and new gathering spaces.
The Cavaliers won the 2016 NBA title, ending Cleveland’s long championship drought, and the arena’s banner commemorates it.
