 Global Spectrum’s contract to manage the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center has been renewed for an additional five years, following a unanimous vote by the Everett Public Facilities District. According to Earl Dutton, President of the Everett Public Facilities District, the contract renewal was due to the management firm’s marketing of the venue which included a lucrative naming rights contract with Comcast.
"Global Spectrum has done an outstanding job of operating the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center on our behalf," said Dutton. "This past year, General Manager Kim Bedier and her team not only filled our venues with quality events, but they also achieved an important objective by securing naming rights (with Comcast). The entire Global Spectrum staff and their continued energy to exceed expectations has established the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center as an important part of our community."
The 10,000-seat Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center, a $71.5 million multi-purpose complex, has hosted a range of events including concerts, rodeos, ice skating and family shows. The facility is also home to the Everett Silvertips, a Western Hockey League franchise. The Everett Events Center also features the Comcast Community Ice Rink as well as the three-story Edward D. Hansen Conference Center which includes three 900-square-foot executive meeting rooms and a 12,000 square foot ballroom. Global Spectrum will also continue its management contract with these two venues in addition to the arena.
"It has been an honor to be part of the incredible changes the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center, Comcast Community Ice Rink and the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center have had on the community and the citizens of Everett," said John Page, Chief Operating Officer, Global Spectrum, "We are pleased to be rewarded with this long-term extension of our contract with the Everett Public Facilities District. We look forward to working and growing in the future with the Everett Public Facilities District." |
