Tony's Pizza Events Center

Tony's Pizza Events Center is a multipurpose arena and convention complex in Salina, Kansas, owned by the City of Salina and operated by OVG360. Opened in 1979 as the Bicentennial Center and renamed in 2017, the facility has grown into one of central Kansas's primary destinations for entertainment, sporting events, trade shows, conventions, and private gatherings — earning the nickname "Mid-America's Meeting Place." The complex spans more than 40,000 square feet of potential convention space and includes a newly renovated 7,583-seat multipurpose arena, the Great Plains Manufacturing Convention Hall (an 18,000-square-foot column-free exhibit hall), and eight configurable meeting rooms accommodating groups up to 220. The convention hall seats up to 800 for banquets and can be arranged in theater-style configurations for over 1,000 attendees; it can also be divided into half or quarter sections to suit smaller gatherings. On-site catering, audio-visual technology, WiFi, tables, chairs, and linens are all included with rentals. The facility is fully ADA-compliant and offers nearly 3,700 free parking spaces. Positioned at the crossroads of I-135 and I-70, Tony's Pizza Events Center serves both the Salina community and visitors from across the region.
