The Citizens Business Bank Arena, originally known as the Ontario Community Events Center, is a 11,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Ontario, California, USA, that is currently under construction on turn 3 of the old Ontario Motor Speedway property. It will host local sporting events and concerts. Construction officially began on April 7, 2007. The arena is scheduled to open on October 24, 2008, with a pre-season game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers.[3]. It will be the future home of the Los Angeles D-Fenders, a team in the NBA Development League owned by the Los Angeles Lakers. It will also be home to the Ontario Reign, a future affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings[4]. The arena will be owned by the city of Ontario and will be operated by AEG Worldwide, which developed the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
