The City of Mobile announced a new partnership with Regions Bank with the naming rights of Mobile’s new arena: Regions Arena.
Regions Bank is also the banking partner for the arena, the Mobile Convention Center and Saenger Theater.
“This announcement is about more than a name — it’s about what we’re building together for the future of Mobile,” said Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis. “We’re proud to partner with Regions Bank, an institution that has long been part of this community and believes in where our city is headed. Regions Arena will be a place where Mobilians will gather for generations to come and where visitors can experience the best of our city.”
Oak View Group will manage the venue along with the convention center and theater.
“We’ve built a strong relationship with the City of Mobile, and we’re proud to welcome Regions Bank into a shared vision for the future of live entertainment in the city,” said Peter Luukko, Co-Chairman, Oak View Group. “Regions Arena will play an important role in bringing new events and momentum to the community, and we’re excited to see its impact take shape.”
The Regions Arena is projected to open in early 2027. It will host live entertainment, sporting events and Mardi Gras celebrations.
“Regions Arena is set to become a premier destination for unforgettable experiences, bringing people together through music, sports, and community pride,” said Erik Hudson, general manager of Regions Arena. “Regions Arena will play a vital role in energizing the Southeast footprint, and we look forward to opening this great venue next year.”
Regions Arena will be home to a new professional hockey team. The 10,000-seat arena is being designed to allow clear views for all general admission tickets.
