The Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center anchors downtown Mobile, Alabama, a city that offers world-class accommodations, retail shops, restaurants, museums, parks, and art galleries. The 317,000-square-foot facility features 16 meeting rooms, two ballrooms, and two exhibit halls that total 100,000 square feet.
The new Regions Arena (opening February of 2027) has been designed with countless features thoughtfully planned to provide exceptional experiences, including retail spaces, luxury suites, VIP clubs, premium seating, great sightlines, and dynamic acoustics. The design also includes multiple ballrooms capable of hosting events of all sizes—offering greater flexibility for Mardi Gras balls and local events and creating additional spaces for conventions.

This new facility has been uniquely designed to support Mobile’s Mardi Gras traditions while also providing a state-of-the-art event venue capable of bringing in major acts that previously drove through the Port City en route to other destinations. Structurally, functionally, and aesthetically, the Regions Arena will meet the requirements to host modern concerts, performances, and a variety of sports—including Mobile Mysticks ice hockey!

It will allow Mobile to host top-billed entertainment that could not be accommodated in the former Civic Center.
The Saenger Theater
, constructed in January of 1927, is the stately, European-style historic landmark theater boasting 1927 seats and is treasured for its architectural beauty as well as for the extraordinary caliber of entertainment it offers our community today.
