Cleveland Cavaliers - Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Guide | Basketball Tripper (2024)

The Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse was built as a replacement facility to the Richfield Coliseum; the arena didn’t officially break ground until April of 1992 and wasn’t finished until October of 1994. The arena was built as part of the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex and Progressive Field, home of the MLB’s Cleveland Indians, that opened a few months later.

From when the arena opened until 2005, the arena was known as Gund Arena for the former Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund as he paid for the naming rights. After Quicken Loans owner Dan Gilbert purchased a majority of the Cavaliers in March 2005, the naming rights in August of the same year, he had the arena renamed Quicken Loans Arena. The arena was renamed in 2019 for Quicken Loans’ online mortgage service, Rocket Mortgage, as part of the arena’s renovation process.

As part of Gilbert’s purchase of the team, he financed the renovations that include new wine-colored seats, state-of-the-art scoreboards, technology systems, new arena graphics, and signs, as well as upgrades to security, locker rooms, and the suites; all of these renovations were complete by the start of the 2005 season.

In December of 2016, the team announced some improvements to the arena that included an increase in the square footage of the concourses and open areas and upgrades throughout the building. The plan, which relied partly on tax money for funding, ultimately cost $193 million, after interest, with taxes paying for $100 million of it.
