The Key Arena is home to the Seattle Supersonics NBA team, the Seattle Storm WNBA team and the Seattle Thunderbird Hockey team. The basketball teams were both recently bought by an Oklahoma businessman and whether or not the teams stay in Seattle remains to be seen.
The Arena was originally built as the Washington State Pavilion for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. After the fair it was renamed the Seattle Center Coliseum and was used as both a sports and a concert venue holding concerts for the likes of Elvis and the Beatles. In the late 1990's it underwent an extensive remodel and was renamed Key Arena at that time.
