Lucas Oil Live will have capacity for more than 6,500 seats
Officials from Lucas Oil Products and WinStar World Casino and Resort today announced a partnership that includes the naming rights to WinStar’s new event arena set to open in 2023. The casino-resort’s new 6,500-seat arena will be named Lucas Oil Live.
“The Lucas Oil Live venue enhances the resort experience for both our guests and music fans as we welcome live entertainment,” said Jack Parkinson, general manager of WinStar World Casino and Resort. “Our guests will be able to enjoy an electric atmosphere in a venue that is nearly double the capacity of our previous venue and offers additional amenities that enhance the live entertainment experience. The sound and technical capabilities of this new local allow us to continue attracting the most popular entertainers in the sector.
“We are excited and honored by this partnership with Lucas Oil, and look forward to the return of live entertainment at WinStar World Casino and Resort in a world-class music venue,” added Parkinson.
Indianapolis-based Lucas Oil produces high-performance automotive lubricants and additives. Lucas Oil has more than 300 premium products with a distribution network in 48 countries.
“The continued evolution of the Lucas Oil brand is giving us the opportunity to form unique and exciting new partnerships, which is why we are thrilled to be working with WinStar World Casino and Resort,” said Morgan Lucas, president of Lucas Oil. “This opportunity gives us the opportunity to reach new audiences of vehicle owners and drivers who can benefit from our products, and we are very proud to have Lucas’ name associated with WinStar’s new event arena, a entertainment destination that will play host to some of the best live music and events in the country.”
Lucas Oil Live at WinStar World Casino and Resort is a 250,000-square-foot state-of-the-art entertainment venue with a capacity of more than 6,500 people, including dedicated VIP, Club and Suite seating. The venue’s lobby is adjacent to WinStar’s newly opened 304-room Spa Tower Hotel and includes a new restaurant, Session House Gastropub and two new concert bars. Lucas Oil Live’s amphitheater-style venue gives attendees easy access to multiple concession stands on each level to conveniently serve customer needs. The venue also features a flexible VIP lounge that can be sized to suit the needs of groups for concerts, events and weekday meetings.
Guests can easily access the Lucas Oil Live lobby three ways: from a new outdoor parking lot, through the existing casino/hotel, or via a skybridge from a new parking garage with more than 1,200 parking spaces . Once inside the venue, guests can navigate to their seats via elevators, stairs or escalators, as well as numerous digital directional directories.
Lucas Oil Live replaces the Global Event Center as the casino-resort’s main indoor concert venue. The Global Event Center was renovated in 2022 to become a non-smoking gaming destination at the Rome Gaming Plaza.
Concerts and events will return to WinStar World Casino and Resort this fall with the grand opening of Lucas Oil Live. A schedule of events and ticket information will be available soon on WinStar.com and on WinStar’s social channels.
