The naming rights of the arena were sold to Pepsi in 1997 and it was known as Pepsi Arena from 1997-2006. In May 2006, the naming rights were sold to the Times Union, a regional newspaper, and the name of the arena became the Times Union Center on January 1, 2007. The building is managed by SMG. It is within walking distance from the city's Greyhound bus station, as well as being close to hotels, bars and restaurants. Current tenants include Siena College's men's basketball team, the Albany Devils, of the AHL and the Albany Firebirds (formerly Albany Conquest), of af2. Previous tenants have included the Indiana Firebirds, of the AFL, the Albany Patroons, of the CBA, the Albany Choppers, of the IHL, the Albany River Rats, of the AHL, the Albany Attack, of the NLL and the New York Kick, of the NPSL II. The University at Albany has used the facility for past games against Syracuse University and has been approached to use the facility for some dates in the future in the wake of their participation in the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The Times Union Center also regularly hosts exhibition games of major sports leagues. The NBA, WNBA and NHL have all played games at the arena. With the New Jersey Devils' AHL franchise relocating to this arena, the arena is set to receive a new scoreboard, LED ribbons above the luxury suites and new outside lighting during the summer of 2010.

Each of these NCAA events have been hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The Capital Skates Classic, a short-lived rivalry series between Rensselaer and Union was played at Pepsi Arena in 1996 and 1997. The series was then moved to Glens Falls, New York before being discontinued three years later. In 1999, the ECAC/Crowne Plaza Faceoff Classic was played at Pepsi Arena. The participants were Rensselaer, Boston University, Quinnipiac, and Niagara. The four games were pre-determined and served as a college hockey showcase event for the Capital District. In 2003, Pepsi Arena became the annual venue for the ECAC Hockey League's Final Four tournament, replacing 1980 Olympic Arena in Lake Placid.
