There will be a new arena under construction in Seattle.
Climate Pledge Arena will be the first zero-carbon arena in the world thanks to the partnership of Oak View Group (OVG), NHL Seattle and Amazon, an announcement Thursday revealed.
The arena — which will be home to NHL Seattle — will be powered by renewable energy rather than the use of natural gas in arenas and stadiums.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos released a statement on Instagram.
“I’m excited to announce that Amazon has bought the naming rights to the historic Seattle arena previously known as KeyArena,” Bezos wrote. “Instead of calling it Amazon Arena, we’re naming it Climate Pledge Arena as a regular reminder of the urgent need for climate action.
