The Denny Sanford Premier Center is a large, multi-use indoor arena in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The building is located at 1201 North West Avenue adjacent to the Sioux Falls Arena, Sioux Falls Convention Center, Howard Wood Field, and Sioux Falls Stadium. The arena's naming rights partners, and largest sponsors, are Sanford Health, First Premier Bank and Premier Bankcard.[6]

Completed in 2014, it has a seating capacity of 12,000 spectators and replaces the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center as the largest venue in South Dakota.[7] The Sioux Falls Arena remains and hosts smaller concerts and events, while the Denny Sanford Premier Center hosts large scale concerts and sporting events.[8]

History

A replacement of the Sioux Falls Arena had been discussed since 1999, with numerous task forces formed and studies completed to determine the need for a new events center.[1] The Sioux Falls Arena was built in 1961 when the population of Sioux Falls was 65,000.[9] By 2000, the population had nearly doubled to 124,000[9] while updates to the Arena were few and far between. After years of arguments and meetings, the new events center was put to a public vote in a special election on November 8, 2011. By a vote of 23,284 to 16,807, Sioux Falls citizens passed the events center special ballot, allowing design and construction of a new events center to begin.[3]

Events

The first concert held at the arena was held on October 3, 2014 and featured Jason Aldean with Tyler Farr in front of a sold-out crowd of over 11,000 fans.[10]

Slipknot, along with guests Korn and opening band King 810, performed at the Premier Center as part of the "Prepare for hell" tour on November 9, 2014.[11] Eric Church and Dwight Yoakam performed at the venue on December 6, 2014 as part of the The Outsiders World Tour.[12]

Other artists and acts that have performed at the venue are Demi Lovato,[13] Christina Perri,[13] and Varekai - a Cirque du Soleil production.[14]

Events already scheduled for 2015 include Chris Tomlin, Nickelback, Kenny Chesney, Def Leppard, The Summit League Men's Basketball Tournament and The Summit League Women's Basketball Tournament.
