 | | On November 17, 1966, the arena held its first event: Breitbards newly acquired San Diego Gulls, the latest addition to the Western Hockey League, won their home opener, 4-1, against the Seattle Totems, before a sellout crowd of 13,700. |
 | | Professional basketball arrived at the arena in 1967 with the San Diego Rockets, followed in subsequent years by another basketball team, the San Diego Clippers, and the 10-time Major Indoor Soccer League champs, the San Diego Sockers. |
 | | Today, the arena is home to the resurrected Gulls and Sockers as well as the San Diego Riptide, who play the relatively new sport of indoor football. |
