The Pasadena Arena was an arena located at 1015 South Fair Oak Ave. in Pasadena, CA, USA. The Pasadena Arena opened for boxing on June 2, 1927, after being built for a cost of approximately $50,000, and a capacity of 2,000. The Arena replaced the Pasadena Armory as the primary venue for boxing in Pasadena. The Pasadena Arena would be the only location of professional boxing in Pasadena from 1927 until 1955. The arena was owned and operated by Morrie Cohan throughout it's history, and would promote boxing and wrestling until the mid-1960s.
Cohan promoted all the shows held at Pasadena Arena, with the exception of the professional shows in 1937, which were promoted by Benny Whitman; and in 1942, that were promoted by Dave Landau.
