About

Enid Event Center construction site.

Arena construction began May 2011.[2] It opened on June 15, 2013 with the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.[3] The building was designed by Convergence Design[4] and constructed by Key Construction[5] as part of the Enid Renaissance project, a $24 million project which includes the renovation of Convention Hall and the addition of 1,100 additional parking spaces in the downtown area. The former Geronimo Motor Company building is one of a few buildings that was torn down for parking accommodations.
