Redfin Lists Cleveland’s Rocket Arena for Charity Open House and Garage Sale

CLEVELAND, OHIO — Redfin, the technology-driven brokerage under the Rocket Companies umbrella, officially listed Rocket Arena on its website Tuesday. It marks the largest property ever featured on the platform, spanning 823,000 square feet in the heart of the Gateway District. The listing is not for a standard family home, even if it features 118 bathrooms and an open-concept layout. It is a move designed to highlight the arena's role as the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Monsters and the city's upcoming WNBA franchise set to debut in 2028. According to the Redfin listing, the facility accommodates 19,432 guests and includes the full-size NBA court. To mark the occasion, the Cavaliers and Redfin are opening the doors to the public for a special open house and garage sale on Thursday, April 2. From 5 to 7 p.m., fans can walk the arena floors and browse a collection of team history. The sale will include exclusive Cavaliers memorabilia and autographed items that are rarely available for direct purchase. Jason Aleem, Redfin's chief of real estate services, noted that the partnership aims to celebrate the connection between the community and the spaces that bring people together. According to Nic Barlage, CEO of Rock Entertainment Group and the Cavaliers, the event provides a unique opportunity for fans to take home a piece of team history while supporting local causes. Tickets for the event are priced at $2.16, a nod to the local area code, with all proceeds benefiting the Cavs Community Foundation. The foundation focuses on supporting youth and families across Northeast Ohio, continuing a tradition of community investment that has been a staple of the organization since the Cavaliers were founded in 1970. Fans visiting the arena or the online listing can also enter a sweepstakes for several high-profile experiences. The grand prize winner will receive exclusive access to the facility for a full day, including dinner served on the Cavaliers' main court. A second prize winner will be awarded Chairman Dan Gilbert's courtside seats for Fan Appreciation Day on April 12. These specific seats are being used to honor the legacy of Gilbert's late son, Nick Gilbert. Outside the building, a record-breaking Redfin yard sign now stands 46 feet tall. The sign features a 25-by-25-foot base, making it nearly impossible to miss for anyone traveling through downtown. Rocket Arena remains one of the busiest venues in the country, hosting more than 175 ticketed events each year, ranging from major concert tours to the MAC men's and women's basketball tournaments. Entries for the sweepstakes will remain open at Redfin.com until Sunday, April 5, at 11:59 p.m. -------------------- At Cleveland 13 News, we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date, and reliable reporting.
