Seat licenses

The arena is the home of the ECHL Devils.
Signage is sold by the venue. The Venue also gets the naming rights revenue.
In 2009 the building was renamed the Sun National Bank Center after the original 10-year deal with Sovereign Bank expired. Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. Sovereign Bank paid its $2.675 million up front.
The arena cost $6.8 million to operate, or about $800,000 over estimates. Arena officials hoped that by booking 10 more concerts, they could earn another $815,000. By boosting sales of club seats, luxury suites and advertising, another $530,000 can be earned. The arena hosted 160 events in 2001.
Part of the problem is the number of people coming to events. The result has been lower than expected parking revenues. While arena expenses may be manageable, arena officials are concerned about parking revenue shortfalls. The arena also expects to book fewer events such as rehearsals and company meetings, that do not generate substantial parking revenues.
While the arena's performance itself may be disappointing, city officials say they are reaping benefits from growth around the building. One project under development would result in a $100 million investment and a $5 million bar and restaurant has already opened. (Facilities, Financial, Ice Hockey, Professional Sports, Venue)
