The Honda Center (formerly known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) is an indoor arena located in Anaheim, California.

The men’s quarterfinal games will be played Thursday at Honda Center followed by the men’s and women’s semifinals on Friday. [citation needed], This arena has also hosted a PBR Bud Light Cup (later Built Ford Tough Series) event annually since 1998. In the 1993–94 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim media guide, Disney and the Ducks organization referred to the arena as the "Pond of Anaheim." In just the past few years, capacity crowds filled Honda Center for world class acts such as The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Fleetwood Mac, Ariana Grande, Twenty One Pilots and more.

This was prior to the naming rights deal with Arrowhead Water. It was cancelled on March 12 in the effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

It is also across the street from Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center with service by Amtrak (Pacific Surfliner), Metrolink (Orange County Line), Anaheim Resort Transit, Orange County Transportation Authority and private transportation companies.

Arrowhead Water paid $15 million for the naming rights over 10 years in October 1993.

Call me crazy, but for atmosphere, I preferred the Anaheim Convention Center even though it’s the wackiest arena in the world.

Women's first-round and quarterfinal games have rotated between Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach State and UC Irvine since 2013.
