As you can read, our facility is in a word...outstanding. Below, you will find a small description of each of our major facilities.

 

Legacy Arena

Ten-stories high, 18,000 seats big with a tendency to sell out, Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex's Legacy Arena is home to a wide range of colossal stars such as Elton John, Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, Disney on Ice and many more. The Legacy Arena seats 18,000 for major sporting events or up to 19,000 for in-the-round performances.

 

Concert Hall

 

The dynamic Concert Hall is acclaimed by performers and critics alike as being one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the world.
