The Honda Center is the home of the Anaheim Ducks. Originally named Anaheim Arena, it was completed in 1993 and then the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. In October 2006, Honda acquired the right to change its name.
While one of the main reasons you may come here with your Anaheim car rental is because it is where the Ducks play, there are a number of other events that take place here as well. The first-ever event here was a Barry Mannilow concert. Other events have included WWE events, concerts (Aerosmith, Boyz II Men, Coldplay, U2, Shakira, Madonna, Britney Spears, and more), and for a brief period it was home to the Los Angeles Clippers. In 2003 it hosted the Stanley Cup Finals, where the Ducks lost by one game.
The Honda Center is located directly across the street from Angel Stadium where the Anaheim Angels play baseball. The owner of the building also owns the Ducks, so he is able to have a great deal of flexibility in scheduling events. He has also made it known that he would like to have an NBA franchise here, another reason you may visit with your Anaheim car rental.
The Ducks
The Ducks were founded in 1993, and, at the time, they were owned by the Walt Disney Corporation. The name came from the popular Disney movie at the time, The Mighty Ducks. They have had their ups and downs as a team, with interest coming and going as the team wins and loses. In 2003 when they went to the Stanley Cup, there was a lot of interest in the team, but fans were disappointed the following year and it showed.
Sports all around
The Anaheim Angles are a Major League Baseball team in the Western division of the American League. With your Anaheim car rental you can take in a game while you are in the area in the summer and there is no hockey.
The Angels Stadium has been home to the Angels since they moved from Los Angeles in 1966. The first game played here was an exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants, while the first official game was against the Chicago White Sox. Although today it is officially called Angel Stadium, it is still popularly referred to as Anaheim Stadium or The Big A.
When you come to the area with your Anaheim car rental you will notice that a lot of attractions have been built up. There are many hotels and restaurants nearby to attract the crowds of people. With a possible NBA team coming, there will be more and more development in the area, becoming a sports-lovers dream. With your Anaheim car rental a trip to the Honda Center is fun and worthwhile.
