Cable Dahmer Arena

What Cable Dahmer Arena does

Cable Dahmer Arena is a multi-purpose event venue located at 19100 East Valley View Parkway in Independence, Missouri, serving the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The arena operates a rotating event calendar spanning concerts (touring acts such as Brand New and Sam Barber), professional hockey (Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL), indoor soccer (KC Comets), MMA fight nights (FAC MMA Fight Night), family shows, and live entertainment. The venue is operated and managed by OVG360 under the legal entity OVG Spectra Holdco, LLC, a venue management and hospitality company headquartered in Pennsylvania that also runs concessions through OVG Hospitality.

The arena's product surface includes a Ticketmaster-powered ticketing platform, a proprietary CDA Loyalty mobile app for points-based rewards, a Digital Tour feature using panoramic imaging, and a Super Groups group ticketing program with customized purchasing codes. Premium seating offerings span club-level access, single-event suites, and annual suite leases, complemented by suite catering. Community-facing programs include the Seats for Service ticket giveaway for military members (presented by Boot Barn) and Independence Community Ice, a community ice rink offering public skating and hockey programs.

Revenue is generated across three primary streams: transaction-fee ticket sales through Ticketmaster, recurring subscription revenue from annual suite leases and premium seating, and transaction-fee food and beverage concessions operated by OVG Hospitality. Marketing is distributed across the official website, a VIP email list, the CDA Loyalty mobile app, social media, and partner-driven campaigns. The venue operates a single infrastructure footprint with no documented expansion into additional locations.
