Dear Prospective Clients:
Welcome to WSU’s Ervin J. Nutter Center - Part of Your Life - since 1990.
With access to over four million people in the Greater Dayton area and within easy driving
distance from three states, the Nutter Center continues to sell out concerts, host major
sporting events, and draw large national conventions. As a result, Facilities and Event
Management magazine named the Nutter Center a 2001 Prime Site Award winner as one
of the top facilities in the nation.
Nutter Center’s standard of excellence has been acknowledged not only by promoters but
also by Billboard Magazine which has ranked the Nutter Center one of the top ten arenas of
its size in the world every year since it opened.
Thus, the Nutter Center has remained one of the premier stopping points for major concert
tours of every musical segment, the finest family shows, and top-touring ice shows as well-but that’s not all. The Nutter Center is home to Wright State collegiate athletics and Dayton
Bombers ECHL hockey and hosts a myriad of key sporting events for high school,
collegiate, and professional levels of play.
Set on the beautiful campus of Wright State University, the Nutter Center Arena seats up to
12,000 and includes 18 luxury suites lining its perimeter. Housed within the building are
four additional basketball courts, a recreational running track, a fully-equipped fitness
center, a multipurpose room, dressing rooms, classrooms, and 60,000 square feet of
exhibition space. In addition, the Center hosts numerous conferences, receptions,
seminars, and teleconferences in its contemporary Berry Room which overlooks the arena.
Full-service catering with an on-site chef is provided by the Sportservice fine dining affiliate,
Well Bread Restaurant Services Group.
On behalf of the entire Nutter Center staff, welcome. We hope to see you soon.
Best regards,
John Siehl
Executive Director
Nutter Center

RENTAL EXPENSE
Rental structure is based on established rental rates and determined by the type of event and
space used. For further information, please refer to “Rental Rates and Charges.”
CONTRACT EXECUTION
All arrangements are considered tentative until a contract has been fully executed and
returned.
Two copies of the contract will be mailed prior to the event. Both copies must be signed and
returned. Executed copy is returned for the lessee’s file at which time a non-refundable
deposit is due.
Additional rental deposits may be required by management to cover the following expenses:
balance of minimum rental fee, advertising expenses, estimated staffing, equipment, and
technical services.
Upon execution of a rental agreement, the event will be advanced by John Cox, Assistant
Director of Operations, who is responsible for all operational details of the event from move-in
to event performance and move-out. He is the lessee’s liaison with arena staff and will provide
all necessary information and coordination.
After meeting with the lessee, the Business Manager prepares an itemized statement of
reimbursable expenses for which the lessee is financially responsible at the time of settlement.
A copy of the expenses is provided to the lessee and is considered an addendum to the contract.
CHALLENGE POLICY
If a date is already on hold by another party, the following process is enacted:
The prospective tenant must forward to management a written request challenging the
first-hold promoter.
Management notifies first-hold promoter of challenge. First-hold promoter is given the
opportunity to secure the date through an executed contract. If the first-hold promoter
releases the date, negotiation commences with the prospective tenant.
Hold Policy - Holds are reserved for 30 days. Hold dates may be released unless
reconfirmed by promoter.
8
FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT
At the conclusion of the event, lessee is responsible for settling all outstanding facility
expenses. The settlement takes place in the administrative offices at the Nutter Center.
In the settlement, the lessee is presented with available documented facility expenses
including but not limited to: rent balance; ticketing expenses (if applicable). The event
settlement will be paid by Wright State University via university check or wire transfer.
If, at the sole discretion of the Nutter Center, ticket sale proceeds are not sufficient to cover
facility expenses, lessee may be required to make additional deposits prior to event. If such
deposits are not made within a designated time frame, the event may be canceled resulting in
forfeiture of the lessee’s deposit.
In the event ticket proceeds do not equal expenses due, the lessee shall be responsible to pay
amount due in full at this time.
Any unresolved or outstanding expenses from the event are to be settled within 30 days.
Any questions regarding financial settlement should be directed to the Business Manager at

FIRE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
PERMITS
Permits are required by the Union Fire Code and can be obtained by contacting John Cox,
Assistant Director - Operations, at (937) 775-4672.
PYROTECHNICS
A pyrotechnician must have an Ohio Shooter for Fireworks License to discharge any
pyrotechnics (ORC 3743.54). The permit fee is $45 per show and the permit must be issued
at least eight hours prior to show time. The Fairborn Fire Department may require a demonstration of any pyrotechnic device prior to the event. The demonstration should be conducted
during normal business hours. A pyrotechnician is available through the local IATSE.
OPEN FLAME DEVICES
Open flame devices are not permitted.
Class III and IV Lasers - To use a class III and IV laser, a demonstration is required by the
Fairborn Fire Department. The demonstration should be conducted during normal business
hours prior to show time.
CHAIR SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Loose chair seating arrangements for concerts must be approved by the Fairborn Fire
Department prior to the sale of tickets.
NOVELTY STANDS
Novelty stand locations for merchandising must be approved by the Fairborn Fire Department.
A floor plan must be submitted for approval no less than 48 hours prior to the beginning of an
event. An Ohio State Fire Marshal flame retardant certificate is required for any questionable
materials. All packaging materials shall be removed periodically to prevent a fire hazard.
Novelty products are not to be stored on the concourse.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electrical wiring must be grounded and UL listed. Temporary extension cords may be used
provided they are plugged directly into an outlet or an approved power strip. Extension cords
may not be plugged into another extension cord. Cords shall be taped down and covered to
prevent them from becoming a safety hazard.
TRAILERS
Trailers used for temporary offices may not be located inside the arena.
STANDBY INSPECTOR
When deemed necessary by the Fire Marshal, standby personnel may be required. The cost for
such personnel will be invoiced to the promoter by the Nutter Center management.
20
SEARCH PROCEDURES
For purposes of public safety and effective crowd management, the Nutter Center management,
at its discretion, will conduct a search of patrons attending the event. The magnitude and
intensity of the search will depend on the type of event and the nature of the crowd attending
the event.
STAFFING
When a search is necessary for an event, the promoter of the event may be required to pay for
the additional staffing required. The exact number of staff used for such purposes, as well as
the costs, will be communicated by Nutter Center management.
VISUAL SEARCH
If, in management’s opinion, the possibility exists that certain items might be brought into an
event but the volatility of the crowd is low, a visual search will be done at each entrance in the
following manner:
1. Visual scan of each patron as they walk by single file.
2. The patron will be asked to open his/her coat. The patron will be asked to open any
purses or handbags to display contents.
3. When an inappropriate item is found, the patron will be given the opportunity to dispose
of the item before entry or take it back to his/her vehicle.
This type of search will be done as quickly and effectively as possible. Unless the patron is
asked to open a handbag or coat, the majority of patrons do not realize they have been
searched. Inappropriate items include but are not limited to: weapons, coolers, video cameras,
food, and beverages.
FULL SEARCH
When the potential for inappropriate and illegal items being brought into the building is high, a
full search will be implemented which will include a series of “checkpoints” that:
1. Act as a crowd management tool while patrons enter the event.
2. Direct the patrons through a series of visual points.
3. Search every patron by either physical pat-down (voluntary) or metal detection device
for items not permitted in the facility, i.e., weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, etc.
This search is required for the safety of the patrons, the entertainer(s), and the facility and
its staff. If at any time patrons do not wish to be subjected to a search, they may return their
ticket immediately to the box office for a refund of the ticket price. When an item is found on
a patron during the search, Nutter Center management determines if entry to the event is
granted. When illegal items are confiscated, Wright State Public Safety officers will
investigate the matter.
