The Veterans Memorial Arena was built in 1973 as a result of a nationwide design competition. It anchors the downtown area as a center for a wide variety of sports, concerts, expos and family events. Some of the top stars in the world have played the Broome County Arena at one time or another. It continues to provide a constant stream of top-class events to the County and the region.


The Director of the Veterans Memorial Arena is Brian Hoffman.

The Forum Performing Arts Theater is an historic theater that was converted into the Capri movie theater decades ago. More recently, it was restored to its original theatrical grandeur as The Forum. Behind the scenes, it's a full-equipped, modern theatrical facility that has witnessed many world-class performers and performances. It is home to both The Tri-Cities Opera and The Broadway Theater League.

The Director of the Forum is Brian L. Hoffman.
