About Mobile Civic Center Arena
Welcome to the Mobile Civic Center Arena—a multi-purpose complex that hosts an arena, theater, and expo hall in downtown Mobile, Alabama. With a current seating capacity of 10,112 (6,120 permanent seats) for arena events, this venue has a rich history of hosting big-name concerts, sports, and touring shows. While redevelopment began in 2024, the existing arena remains a key destination in Mobile’s cultural and events calendar. Whether you’re catching a show, a sporting event, or a conference, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to make your visit straightforward and stress-free.
Parking is convenient with 286 spaces under the Mobile Convention Center plus about 1,550 spaces across Water Street via the Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel skybridge. Additional surface lots nearby provide extra options. The Wave Transit System operates in downtown Mobile, offering bus routes that reach the Civic Center area for easy access without driving. When choosing lodging, consider nearby options like The Admiral, Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel, The Battle House, and several downtown hotels such as Candlewood Suites Mobile-Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Mobile Downtown, Hampton Inn & Suites Mobile-Downtown Historic District, Holiday Inn Mobile-Downtown/Historic District, and Malaga Inn. For dining, you’ll find a range of nearby restaurants and eateries to suit any mood, from casual to refined. The arena’s seating chart is available on the official Mobile Arena site under Arena Seating Chart, helping you pick the right great seats for your event. As Mobile continues to evolve, the site formerly known as the Civic Center is being redeveloped into the new Mobile Arena, planned to open in 2027 with a similar spirit of community and live entertainment.
