The $168.5 million boost to the economy and the nearly 2,000 jobs supported in 2023 are testaments to our commitment to the community. Acrisure Arena's success underscores the vital role that live entertainment venues play in fostering economic vitality and community engagement.”

We're honored to be named the 2024 ACEC California Honor Award Winner!
Thrilled to announce that Acrisure Arena, a project that emerged as a game-changer in Coachella Valley, has been named a 2024 ACEC California Honor Award Winner! 🏆 Developed by Oak View Group, the arena quickly became a year-round hub for entertainment, boasting 10,000 fixed seats and a capacity of up to 11,500, hosting sold-out hockey games and concerts. Addressing three distinct loading scenarios—seismic forces, high winds, and substantial rigging loads—was a primary design opportunity, given the venue's proximity to the San Andreas Fault. Our innovative approach to earthquake resistance involved a novel method, utilizing shared foundations, columns, and beams, ensuring compatibility between Acrisure Arena and the Berger Foundation Iceplex during #seismic events. Beyond entertainment, #AcrisureArena has become an integral part of the local community, hosting its inaugural professional sports team, featuring a public ice skating rink, and creating nearly 1,600 part-time and full-time job opportunities.
