Enmarket Arena

What Enmarket Arena does

Enmarket Arena is a 9,500-seat live entertainment venue located at 620 Stiles Avenue in Savannah, Georgia, operated as a public-private partnership involving Oak View Group and the City of Savannah. The venue was opened in the early 2020s and is the newest arena-scale entertainment facility in the Southeast US market, serving the Savannah metro area and surrounding Southern Georgia region. It functions as a multi-purpose facility hosting professional hockey (ECHL Savannah Ghost Pirates), professional basketball (Savannah Steel), touring concerts and comedy acts, family shows, rodeos, Monster Jam, WWE events, and proprietary events such as the Sips on Stiles craft beverage festival.

The core product is the physical venue itself, supported by a set of venue-level services: ticket sales through Ticketmaster and the on-site box office, mobile ticketing, premium experiences (luxury suites, nightly rentals, VyStar Club), food and beverage concessions, parking reservations via ParkWhiz, free public Wi-Fi, an interactive virtual venue tour, and event space rentals. There is no SaaS, platform, or modular product architecture; the offering is entirely venue-bound. Technology integrations are limited to standard consumer ticketing, parking, and calendar-export workflows.

Revenue is generated across six streams: ticket sales, food and beverage, premium seating and suites, naming rights (Enmarket), event space rentals, and corporate sponsorships (VyStar Credit Union, Chatham Parkway Toyota, Oak View Group, Live Nation). The go-to-market motion is event-driven: Live Nation drives major concert bookings, Ticketmaster serves as the primary ticketing marketplace, and the venue operates group-ticket and premium-experience direct sales for corporate and group buyers. Sponsorship and naming rights provide recurring multi-year contracted revenue. The company is privately held, with no disclosed revenue or funding data.
