| | ipayOne Center - History |
 | | The roar of 11,682 professional hockey fans gave birth to ipayOne Center (formerly, the San Diego International Sports Center) on November 17, 1966, as the San Diego Gulls-then of the Western Hockey League-won their home opener in a 4-to-1 victory against the Seattle Totems. |
 | | Thanks to the vision and commitment of a man named Robert Breitbard, a football hero at Hoover High and San Diego State University, the Center was built for a modest $6.4 million with the purpose of bringing professional sports to the San Diego region. |
 | | When the Center celebrated its 35th birthday in 2002, the changes and improvements continued, including completion of the new color theme for each entrance concession stand, new condiment service areas, renovation of the Grille and successful installation of the World-Famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal Park interactive display. |
