Toyota Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Ontario, California, United States. The arena hosts local sporting events and concerts and is suitable for indoor events, including basketball, ice hockey, ice shows, boxing, graduation ceremonies and concerts. The arena's basketball capacity is 10,832; 9,736 for hockey; and has a full capacity configuration for 11,089 spectators. The 225,000-square-foot (20,900 m2) venue also has 36 luxury suites on two levels.[1] Construction officially began on March 7, 2007, and the arena was opened on October 18, 2008.[1] It is the largest and most modern arena within the Inland Empire region of Southern California.[1]

The arena's construction cost was US$150 million; however, it was debt free due to the city of Ontario selling different properties throughout the city.[7] It was constructed on the old Ontario Motor Speedway property.[8] The arena is public property and owned by the city of Ontario. From 2008 to 2016 the facility was operated by AEG Worldwide, and has since been operated by successor ASM Global, which took over operations on July 1, 2016.[9][2] The arena is home to the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League, the Empire Strykers of the Major Arena Soccer League and the Ontario Clippers of the NBA G League.
