The 70,000-square foot entertainment venue includes a concert space that seats more than 1,600 and a Box Office that sells tickets in person and on-line for concerts and events throughout the country.

"I started my entertainment career managing bands at 18 years old and have been fortunate enough to see hundreds of concert venues in my lifetime," said Brennan.
