The Q Goes Completely Smoke-Free

Arena was already smoke-free in main public areas, but now increases that policy to cover all internal space at arena.

Quicken Loans Arena, home of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, and the region's largest and most active year-round sports and entertainment showplace, announced a change in its smoking policy. Effective immediately, no smoking will be permitted inside the facility. This includes all public and restricted areas.

Prior to this move, the arena allowed smoking in Quaker Steak & Lube located on the main concourse of the arena. Quaker Steak & Lube has an entrance and exit door off the main concourse and was open to all event attendees. Bridges Restaurant located on the Huntington Bank Club Level of the arena also permitted smoking in its bar area. Bridges is also open to all event attendees. All other areas of the facility were already smoke-free.

Event attendees will still be able to smoke while attending events at The Q by utilizing the three designated smoking areas on the outside of the building. These areas are also equipped with televisions so fans can stay connected to the game or event they are attending. The designated outside smoking areas can be found at the following locations:

Near Section 117 and 118 on the main concourse level (south end of the Arena).

Near Section 103 on the main concourse level (exit to Ontario Street).

Outside Quaker Steak & Lube – (enter near Section 100 on main concourse level with smoking area outside exit to Huron Road side of arena)
