The
Arena at Gwinnett Center celebrated its 10-Year Anniversary with
special performances by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
The event honored The Arena, which opened its doors on Feb. 17, 2003
with the
Arena Football
League’s Georgia Force.
Since
its opening, The Arena at Gwinnett Center has been home to 1,014 shows, 120
sold-out performance,s and 6,713,525 event attendees.
Country
music artist, George Strait was the first concert to play The Arena on Feb. 21,
2003. Since then, Strait has been one of The Arenas most visited artists and
has played in Gwinnett County 5 times over the past 10 years.
“Playing
Gwinnett Center for the last few years has definitely been a highlight of our
tours. I have many great memories there,” said Strait. “Congratulations on your
10 year anniversary, and I hope you have many more.”
The
Arena at Gwinnett Center is constantly upgrading the venue to meet the needs of
the public. This
year will be focused on digital upgrades, so the venue can remain young in
appearance. The
Arena now has digital scoreboards, digital menu boards in the concession areas,
and flat
screen televisions in the concourse. The facility was constructed with patrons
in mind, so these upgrades continue to make the venue appealing to the
public.
“We
would like to thank everyone who has made this facility successful over the past
10 years, from our board of directors to our community partners, staff, and
patrons; we wouldn’t be here without your support,” said Gwinnett Center’s
general manager, Joseph Dennis. “We
look forward to many more fantastic years to come!”
There
will be a lot of exciting promotions surrounding the 10-year anniversary over
the next year. The first promotion will be launched
on Gwinnett Center’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/gwinnettcenter)
when Gwinnett Center reaches 10,000 fans. For those fans who “like” the page,
they will be able to enter a contest where 1 lucky winner will receive 2 tickets
to the next 10 events at The Arena at Gwinnett Center.
