| | Cleveland Arena |
 | | During its lifetime, the Cleveland Arena was home to a variety of sports teams, including the Crusaders of the World Hockey Association, the Rebels of the Basketball Association of America, the Pipers of the American Basketball League and finally, the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association. |
 | | (Incidentally, the Barons were the name of Cleveland's short-lived NHL franchise.) The agreement was that the Crusaders, granted in June 1972, would be operational by the start of the 1972-73 season. |
 | | The offense sputtered for 1973-74, as Cleveland dropped to third in the eastern Division, bowing in the playoffs to the Toronto Toros. |
