Von Braun Center, Event complex in downtown Huntsville, United States
The Von Braun Center is a large events building in downtown Huntsville with multiple halls, an arena, and different spaces for concerts and meetings. The facility brings various types of events together in one location.
The center opened in 1975 and was named after rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who worked in Huntsville. The building grew through several expansions over the following decades.
The center regularly hosts symphony orchestra performances and touring Broadway shows that draw audiences from across the region. These events shape the cultural rhythm of the city.
The building has a covered parking garage and connects directly to nearby hotels through an indoor corridor. This makes it convenient to arrive and move around.
A famous singer performed five consecutive shows there in 1975, marking his longest performance streak outside Nevada. This event remains a defining moment in the venue's history.
