Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut is the home of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, set inside the Mohegan Sun casino resort complex where game nights blend professional basketball with a full entertainment destination. The intimate 9,000-seat bowl keeps fans close to the court, and the Sun's loyal fanbase has made it one of the WNBA's most consistent home environments. Its eastern Connecticut location gives the franchise a distinct regional identity apart from the Boston and New York markets.
The arena opened in 2001 as part of the Mohegan Sun resort and became the Sun's home when the franchise relocated from Orlando in 2003. Connecticut has been a WNBA playoff regular, with the arena hosting multiple postseason runs and All-Star events. The Sun's Mohegan heritage — the team is owned by the Mohegan Tribe — makes this one of the most unique ownership-and-venue stories in American pro sports.
