Yes, the Climate Pledge Arena is the old Key Arena. It was closed for renovations in October 2018 and reopened as the Climate Pledge Arena.

It emptied for operations in October 2019. A charity concert was held on its opening day featuring the Foo Fighters and Death Cab for Cutie. 

The multi-purpose indoor arena was earlier named after KeyBank, following the purchase of naming rights in April 1995. The Key Arena was home to the Seattle SuperSonics before their move to Oklahoma City.

The name Key Arena was officially retired after it was closed in October 2018 by the Seattle Center and the Oak View Group. On 25 June 2020, Amazon purchased the naming rights for the center.

The venue was then named after The Climate Pledge. The Climate Pledge was co-founded in 2019 by Amazon working with Global Optimism.

The sign of the Key Arena which was on the rooftop of the Arena was removed in July 2020 and replaced by the new sign on December 2020.
