About Climate Pledge Arena
Originally opening in 1962 for the World's Fair, the Seattle SuperSonics moved in and occupied the building off and on from 1967 until they moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Now the venue is primarily used by the Seattle Storm of the WNBA and for concerts and other smaller events until the NHL expansion Seattle Kraken start in the fall of 2021.
