About New Orleans Arena
The New Orleans Arena has been home to the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA since the year 2002. Moreover, Tulane University basketball games as well as some high school basketball games and other special events have also made the venue their home.
Completed in the year 1999 at a cost of $84 million, the New Orleans Arena was officially opened on October 19, 1999. During the first three years after it opened, the Brass was its main tenant, but later the team was forced to let go the tenancy after Hornet's management demanded priority upon moving. The New Orleans Arena has a capacity of 18,000 for basketball and 16,500 for arena football and it has 56 luxury suites as well.
The New Orleans Brass of the ECHL played in the New Orleans Arena their last three seasons before they became defunct in the year 2002. Since, February 2004, the New Orleans VooDoo, of the Arena Football League (AFL), has played their home games in the New Orleans Arena.
