Mohegan Sun Arena

What Mohegan Sun Arena does

Mohegan Sun Arena is an entertainment venue and convention center owned and operated by the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut through the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. The brand encompasses two physical arenas: the flagship Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut (opened 2001, celebrating its 25th anniversary in November 2026), and Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania venue is operated by ASM Global and managed by Legends Global, with an anchor tenancy by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins AHL hockey team.

The venues host concerts, family shows, sporting events, and conventions. Programmed events for 2026 include Metallica (November 19 and 21), Barry Manilow's final Wilkes-Barre concert (July 1), Brad Paisley (September 24), Journey (November 6), The Rock Orchestra (November 13), and the Jehovah's Witnesses Convention (June 26-28). Ticket distribution is handled via embedded integrations with Ticketmaster and AXS, supplemented by the NBT Bank Box Office on-site, while premium offerings include Party Suites, Rockstar Suites, VIP packages, and private event hosting.

Commercially, Mohegan Sun Arena is embedded in a four-property North American Mohegan resort network (Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Fallsview Casino Resort in Ontario, and Casino Niagara), enabling cross-property campaigns such as the Hot Summer Fun 2026 promotion featuring over $2M in giveaways across Tesla vehicles, Lexus and Jeep prizes, and casino bonus pools. The Momentum loyalty program links entertainment and casino spend across the portfolio. Revenue mechanics center on ticket sales (transaction-fee model) and casino promotional activity; specific pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
