KeyArena at Seattle Center, commonly known as KeyArena. The arena's current primary tenants are the Seattle Storm of the WNBA and the Rat City Rollergirls of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). Seattle University's men's basketball team played in the arena from 1963-1980 and returned in 2008-2009 season.

KeyArena was once home to the NBA's now defunct Seattle SuperSonics. On July 2, 2008, the Oklahoma City based ownership group of the SuperSonics reached a settlement deal with the City of Seattle, releasing the team from the last two years of their lease with the city and allowing the team to relocate to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 NBA season. The team became the Oklahoma City Thunder and the owners agreed to leave the SuperSonics name, logo, and colors in Seattle for a possible future NBA franchise.

It was also home to the Seattle Thunderbirds, a junior hockey team in the Western Hockey League. The Thunderbirds hosted the Memorial Cup in the Seattle Center Coliseum pre-KeyArena remodel in 1992.
