The Curtis Culwell Center opened in 2005 as the Garland Special Events Center, built for the Garland Independent School District at a cost of $31.5 million. HKS, Inc. designed it; Lee Lewis Construction built it, with engineering by Walter P. Moore, Blum Consulting Engineers and RLK Engineers Inc. On May 3, 2015, two men attacked an art exhibition there and were killed; one Garland ISD officer was wounded. From 2019 the arena became a regular stop for All Elite Wrestling.

The arena hosts the UIL state girls' volleyball championships and has been a regular stop for All Elite Wrestling, Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, including the Fyter Fest and Winter Is Coming specials. Its name honours Curtis Culwell, and the building belongs to the Garland Independent School District, so school basketball games share the calendar with televised wrestling cards.

The arena holds 6,860 fixed seats and up to 8,500 people at full capacity, so large crowds arrive through the same complex as the adjoining conference center. It stands in Garland, Texas, and is owned by the Garland Independent School District. Check which hall your event uses before setting out.
