Shows at Muckleshoot had been in a 500-capacity room, the Galaxy Club, inside the casino, which has staged live entertainment since the mid-1990s. There are no plans to sign a naming rights sponsor at this time, he said, noting that sponsors have been aboard for individual shows and events in the past and will continue to do so. “At 20,000 square feet, it’s not overly huge, but it’s not tiny either.” We can can have fights, MMA, trade shows, small conferences,” Granito said. It can also be set up for mixed martial arts bouts staged in the round, McCoy said. The multiuse center can be divided into five breakout rooms, giving the casino the ability to host multiple events, like trade shows and weddings, simultaneously. If the stage is along the long wall, the capacity is about 1,600 seated plus 1,000-1,200 standing, according to McCoy. In the short wall configuration, it can hold about 1,850 seated and an additional 2,800 standing. The new room has two primary performance configurations, depending on whether the stage is situated along a long or a short wall in the rectangular space. The resort this year will mark its 26th anniversary.

“The conversation about an events center or some type of entertainment venue really got serious about five years ago,” Granito said. 8 and 9, if all goes according to plan, said Conrad Granito, the resort’s general manager, and Bob McCoy, its entertainment and production manager.

Kool & the Gang had originally been scheduled to christen the space and will now do so on Sept. The Muckleshoot Events Center was developed at a cost of more than $60 million and was complete by March 2020, but has been idle due to the pandemic. 8-9Ī September performance by Kool & the Gang will be the first show at the new 20,000-square-foot events center at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort outside Seattle in Auburn, Washington. The new 20,000-square-foot space is ready to rock ‘n’ roll but will need to wait a little longer. (Courtesy Muckleshoot Casino Resort) Washington casino’s events center sets first concert for Sept.
