Laredo Entertainment Center
Although the Texas-Mexico border may seem like an unlikely location for ice hockey, when the City of Laredo was approached about the development of a new event center, it seized the opportunity to provide one of the country’s fastest growing cities with a venue embodying the new progressive spirit. The center contains 180,000-SF of seating, 8,000-SF of floor space for hockey and 10,000-SF for concerts. The configuration and entrance at the event floor promote use for flat floor events as well as spectator events. The club level provides seating, with lounge and VIP suites, amenities not often found in venues of this size. The center was delivered in 18 months, from design authorization to completed project.
