About us

Opened in 2008, the $64 million Bank of Kentucky Center is Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati's new premier arena designed to host popular live concert events and shows, national conventions and a wide variety of sports tournaments & regional special events.

The 245,000 square foot, bowl-shaped arena boasts a capacity of nearly 10,000 seats for most events due to retractable seating, or 9,400 for basketball games, plus two decks of seating, 12 luxury boxes, two party decks that accommodate up to 100 people and two party suites that seat up to 50. A special curtaining system also allows the venue to be cut to half size.

In addition, the center offers ample on-site parking and numerous facilities for private meetings and conferences, with rooms ranging from 850-5,440 sq feet, along with outstanding catering options and many modern amenities. The Bank of Kentucky Center – proudly managed by SMG, the world leader in facility management – is committed to unmatched customer service before, during and after each event.
