The 18,100-seat arena will be the first net zero carbon certified arena in the world, Amazon said.
Amazon has bought the naming rights to downtown Seattle’s arena which will house a new NHL team and the Women’s National Basketball Association’s Seattle Storm, the company announced Thursday.
The KeyArena will now be renamed to Climate Pledge Arena, in reference to Amazon’s ambitious climate plan, which was first unveiled by CEO Jeff Bezos last September. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment.
The 18,100-seat arena will build on the Climate Pledge’s focus on sustainability and carbon neutrality. Amazon said it will be the first net zero carbon certified arena in the world, generate zero waste from operations and events and will be powered with 100% renewable electricity.
