Toyota Center (Kennewick)
Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOY : Toyota Center (Kennewick)
The Toyota Center is a 5,780-seat multi-purpose arena in Kennewick, Washington, USA. The arena opened in 1988 as the Tri-Cities Coliseum (the name was changed in 2004 to the Three Rivers Coliseum to match the Three Rivers Convention Center). In early October of 2005, a deal was reached between the city of Kennewick, Washington and Toyota in which in exchange for naming rights, Toyota would pay $2,000,000.00 over ten years. It is home to the Western Hockey League's Tri-City Americans ice hockey team and the Tri-Cities Fever of the National Indoor Football League, as well as the former home of the Tri-City Chinook of the Continental Basketball Association.
It is also used for concerts (capacity between 6,675 and 7,715), banquets, ice shows, circuses, and trade shows (27,132 square feet of space).
