Ford Center

Evansville, Indiana's downtown heartbeat pulses within the confines of the Ford Center, accommodating up to 11,000 eager spectators. Unveiled in November 2011, it hosts a medley of events, from basketball and ice hockey showdowns to music concerts.

The Evansville Thunderbolts of the SPHL and the University of Evansville's Purple Aces basketball team call it home. Designed by Populous, this $127.5 million arena replaced the venerable Roberts Municipal Stadium, with demolition kicking off in December 2009.

Bordered by Main Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, 6th Street, and Walnut Street,it integrates seamlessly with a forthcoming convention hotel and the existing convention center.

Named Ford Center under a lucrative 10-year, $4.2 million agreement with Tri-State Ford Dealers, it's not just a venue but a stage for records to be set—like Aces junior Colt Ryan's 39-point triumph in January 2012.

Upcoming events at Ford Center in 2024

As the calendar year unfolds, the Ford Center gears up for a lineup of events to keep Evansville buzzing with excitement. Judas Priest kicks off the fervor on May 17, engaging Metal enthusiasts with their Invincible Shield Tour.

On August 8, Jason Aldean takes center stage, serenading Country fans with the soulful melodies of his Highway Desperado Tour 2024. Then, on September 21, Taylor Shines comes with The Laser Spectacular, infusing the dance floor with pulsating beats and vibrant lights.

Country music takes the venue’s spotlight repeatedly, with Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, and Lainey Wilson coming directly under the limelight in September, October, and November, respectively.
