Since opening its doors on June 19th, 1993 for a Barry Manilow concert, Honda Center (then called the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) has been the home of the Anaheim Ducks. Numerous concerts, hundreds of basketball games, miscellaneous events from WWE to bull riding, thousands of hockey games, and a Stanley Cup later, the desire for the Ducks to stay in the building remains.
On Tuesday evening, a new agreement between the City of Anaheim and Anaheim Arena Management was approved by Anaheim City Council by a vote of 6-1.
Under the new agreement, Anaheim Arena Management, the management company owned by Henry and Susan Samueli that also owns the team, will extend its deal to run the city-owned home of the Ducks until 2048 with the option for five-year extensions thereafter.
