The 1stBANK Center, formerly The Odeum Colorado and The Broomfield Event Center, is a multi-use arena, located just off U.S 36 in Broomfield, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The Center is a scalable venue, able to accommodate 3,500–6,500 people, and a wide variety of events.
While the main focus will be on musical talent, other non-musical events will be hosted at the Center, such as one-off sporting events, non-profit and charitable events, family entertainment shows, and events hosted by the city and people of Broomfield and Westminster.
The Center, as of September 1, 2009, is operated by Peak Entertainment LLC, a joint endeavor of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) and Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE).
AEG and KSE both operate major sports and entertainment venues in the Denver area, as well as across the country.
The arena has hosted concerts for artists including Paul Simon, Arcade Fire, The Killers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Pretty Lights, Roger Daltrey, Phish, Modest Mouse, Pavement and Radiohead.
Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or center:
“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
