Prior to 1985, Kingdom Stadium had always been the home court of the Supersonics, but during the 85-86 season, the Supersonics moved their home court to the smaller and more modern KeyArena.
In recent years, NBA teams had gradually moved away from these large, multi-purpose sports complexes like the Kingdom to smaller, more modern, and better equipped basketball arenas.
For instance, the Detroit Pistons were preparing to move from the Silverdome to the under-construction Palace of Auburn Hills, a new arena that started construction in 1986 and was expected to be ready for use by 1988.
