The War Memorial at Oncenter has the versatility to accommodate numerous large-scale events, including yours! Ice shows, family shows, car shows, concerts, sports events, and conventions are all regularly held here, with great success. This recently renovated historic building is nicely appointed with many new features.
You'll find a modern ice rink, HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and lighting systems, new arena seating, and quality food service courts, all accentuated by some very attractive landscaping. Event space? We have plenty of that. Choose from the 43,500 square-foot Arena, the 44,000 square-foot Exhibition Hall, the 3,100 square-foot Assembly Hall or our flexible meeting rooms. Book any or all of it (a total of 91,000 square feet on three levels). In the Arena, you can host up to 8,000 people, depending on seating arrangements.
The War Memorial is dedicated to the living and departed heroes of the First and Second World Wars. The cornerstone was laid in 1950 by the Gold Star Mothers of Onondaga County. When it was completed the following year it was considered one of the finest multi-purpose buildings in the country. The names of 50,000 veterans are on the walls of the promenade, and the names of 55 battles are boldly inscribed on the exterior. The seating capacity varies from 8,000 for stage shows to 10,000 for arena events.
