reating a convenient stop for those touring arenas throughout the Northeast,
the Bryce Jordan Center has answered many promoters’ prayers. Not only
is the Jordan Center centrally located within the state, it is located in a
region that has been largely without entertainment facilities. The closest
building of this size is 140 miles away, making the Bryce Jordan Center
the largest arena between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Just a threeto-five hour drive from eleven surrounding major arenas and numerous
mid-size arenas, the Jordan Center holds tremendous routing potential.
The Bryce Jordan Center is a
“promoter friendly” facility.
Reasonable rates for service,
equipment, labor, and media
have been negotiated in the hopes of
increasing profits for the promoter.
introduction
Food and beverage service is
handled in-house. There are ten
“theme” concession stands in the
building. Each stand has three or four
points of sale, making waiting time
minimal. Two catering kitchens are
available for food services in the luxury
boxes, backstage, and for special events.
Not only is the Bryce Jordan Center
a beautiful building, it has a reputation
for impeccable service. It’s staff is
dedicated to making every visit here a
pleasurable and memorable one.
Amenities, location, and size all
combine to make the Bryce Jordan
Center a strong facility. The Jordan
Center opened its door with
unparalleled expectations for success
and incomparable levels of customer
service and promoter respect.
Our reputation speaks for itself.

ou’ve got the act, we’ve got the audience—a campaign slogan that helped launch an
award-winning season at the Bryce Jordan Center still rings true today. In fact,
in a region that is experiencing significant growth, the Jordan Center target
market is larger than ever before. Performers from all genres have
brought their shows to sell-out crowds in Central Pennsylvania.
target market
Located in the heart of Central
Pennsylvania on the campus of
The Pennsylvania State University,
the Bryce Jordan Center has a target
market of over 1.1 million people
including 80,000 Penn State students
and alumni who live within 90 minutes
of the town of State College.
Centre County already offers an agenda
of activities rivaling those of larger
metropolitan cities. Every home football
game draws nearly 100,000 fans and
each summer the Central Pennsylvania
Arts Festival attracts over 250,000
enthusiasts. People already enjoy
a variety of superb restaurants,
interesting museums, and performing
arts shows, and now with the Jordan
Center, the opportunities are endless.
An easy commute from major cities
such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and
Baltimore makes State College
an ideal location.
