Other upgrades include a refurb of the inside and outside design, a new digital marquee, a redesigned box office pavilion, an expanded concourse, 4 luxury event suites, indoor/outdoor retail space and a new concourse-level club area.
Since reopening in October, the arena has hosted 16 events, including 4 sold-out concerts with Pearl Jam and Phish.
“The DCU Center is a top performer in the industry, posting record numbers for the month of October,” said,” Wes Westley, President and CEO of SMG. “The partnership between the management staff at the venue and the city is a success story that we know will continue for many years to come,” Wes added.
