Located in one of America’s hottest cities, the 12,000 plus capacity Van Andel Arena has been a catalyst for live entertainment development in the greater Grand Rapids area since its opening in 1996. Home of the AHL hockey team, The Grand Rapids Griffins, Van Andel Arena is the Must Play Destination in Michigan's fastest-growing market, and has thrust Grand Rapids into the forefront of the entertainment industry. The arena was named in recognition of the largest benefactor, Jay and Betty Van Andel. Van Andel Arena and Grand Rapids offer the perfect combination of cosmopolitan flair and Midwestern hospitality to make any event a success. Since marking its Grand Entrance on October 8, 1996, Van Andel Arena has attracted the biggest names in family shows, concerts and sporting events, including events such as Neil Diamond, Disney On Ice, NCAA Hockey Regional Championships, the AFL Arena Bowl XV game, Detroit Pistons & Michigan State University basketball exhibition games, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Metallica, Bob Seger, P!NK, Justin Timberlake and more!

Love the Griffins games here. They also have really big name shows here. It's not so big that you can't get a good view.
