BMO Center, Indoor arena in downtown Rockford, US

The BMO Center is a multi-level arena with orange exterior walls located in downtown Rockford. The facility accommodates approximately 10,000 people and serves as a venue for various types of events and performances.

The building opened in 1981 and marked the start of its role as a major event venue in the city. A major renovation in 2006 refreshed the facilities and enabled a partnership to host professional ice hockey games.

The venue has served as a performance space for musicians and artists over many years, drawing crowds for concerts and shows. It remains an important part of the city's entertainment landscape and cultural offerings.

The arena is easy to reach and offers good parking options near the venue. Visitors should check event details in advance to plan their visit and avoid long wait times during peak events.

The arena has been a draw for major performers since opening and has hosted countless shows over the years. Many visitors don't realize that the renovation transformed the building's facilities and capacity for modern entertainment.
