Quicken Loans Arena (aka "The Q") is a multipurpose arena in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Until August 2005, it was known as Gund Arena, named for Gordon Gund, a former owner of the Cavaliers, after he paid for the naming rights. It is home to the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA. It was also home of the now-defunct Cleveland Lumberjacks of the IHL, the Cleveland Barons of the AHL, and the Cleveland Rockers of the WNBA. On May 16, 2006 it was announced that the Utah Grizzlies of the AHL would be moving to Cleveland to play in the Quicken Loans Arena. The arena was opened with a concert by Billy Joel on October 17, 1994 - the Cavaliers played the first game in the arena a few weeks later.
The Q LogoThe arena replaced the Coliseum at Richfield, which was becoming outdated and was inconveniently located well south of Cleveland, near Akron. Part of the Gateway Project to revitalize downtown Cleveland, the arena and neighboring Jacobs Field were paid for with a sin tax on alcohol and tobacco. In the summer of 2005, Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert renovated the newly named Quicken Loans Arena, with new seats, state of the art scoreboards, video systems, sound systems, arena graphics, signage, security, locker rooms, and suite upgrades all in place for the start of the Cavaliers 2005-2006 season.
The arena seats a maximum 20,562 for basketball, including 2,000 in the club seats. It has 92 luxury suites. It has served as the site of the Mid-American Conference men's basketball tournament since 2000. It was the site of WWF SummerSlam 1996, the American version of WWF No Mercy 1999, WWF Invasion 2001, Survivor Series 2004, and the 1997 NBA All-Star Game. The facility will host the 2007 NCAA Women's Final Four.

The Q or Quicken Arena. I attended many Cavs games the past 2 years having lived in Cleveland. I moved as Cleveland in my opinion is still the Mistake by the Lake.

Your question is already answered but hey I might have the best answer. (wink, wink, hint, hint, type no more, type no more)
The Cavs play all over the country. They could be in Madison Square Garden, Target Center, Staples Center, American Airlines Arena, etc. But usually they are found at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. LeBron's witnesses are there, but aren't they everywhere?
