As part of the 2020 SPLOST vote, Akins Ford Arena is a 192,000 SF multifunctional space for sporting events, family shows, concerts, conferences, and more. The new facility will be able to hold 8,500 people and transform for any occasion, from concerts and sports tournaments to banquets and general sessions. Amenities include an Ice Hockey floor, concert and performance set-up, and a 7-trailer load-in dock. Construction of the new arena began in January 2022 and is expected to open in early 2024.
