Officials at The Q today announced that effective immediately, no smoking will be permitted anywhere inside the arena. Prior to this move, the arena allowed smoking in Gordon’s Sports Bar and Bridges Restaurant. 
“This was something we looked at closely and decided was the right thing for us to do considering the feedback we’ve received from our customers,” said Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena CEO Mark Stornes in a statement.
For those visitors who just can’t make it through an event without a smoke, officials at The Q have established four designated smoking areas on the outside of the building. Those areas are equipped with televisions so visitors can continue to watch the game or event.
