DCU Center - Microsoft Flight Simulator STADIUM LANDING!

Today we visit the city of Worcester and their amazing DCU Center! History: The DCU Center (originally Centrum in Worcester, formerly Worcester's Centrum Centre and commonly Worcester Centrum) is an indoor arena and convention center complex in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. The facility hosts a variety of events, including concerts, sporting events, family shows, conventions, trade-shows, and meetings. It is owned by the City of Worcester and managed by SMG, a private management firm for public assembly facilities. Ten-year naming rights were purchased in 2004 by Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) and went into effect in January 2005. DCU's naming rights were later extended to 2025. The Centrum, or officially Centrum in Worcester as it was then known, opened in September 1982 after years of construction delays, with a capacity of roughly 12,000. The first performance on September 1st, 1982, was a free concert sponsored by The City of Worcester with Mayor Sara Robertson acting as Master of Ceremonies with the New England Symphony Orchestra performing. The first paid opening event was a Frank Sinatra concert on September 2nd, 1982. The arena was expanded to 14,800 seats in 1989 with the addition of 300-level balconies. The convention center addition was completed along with a renovation of arena infrastructure in 1997. This upgrade resulted in the facility's name change to Worcester's Centrum Centre. The venue received further updates with the DCU naming rights purchase, including new signage both inside and outside the facility, and a new center-hung video scoreboard for the arena bowl. The facility expanded in 1997 with the opening of an attached convention center that features panoramic views of downtown Worcester. The complex added 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of exhibit space, 11 meeting rooms, a 12,144-square-foot (1,128.2 m2) ballroom (the largest in Central Massachusetts), and a kitchen. The facility's 100,000-plus square feet of exhibit space is filled by consumer shows, trade shows, conventions, conferences, and other public and private functions year-round. An additional headquarters hotel for the facility, the Hilton Garden, opened in October 2006, doubling the number of rooms previously available in the facility's other headquarters hotel, the former Crowne Plaza that closed in 2009. t was announced on June 3, 2009, that the DCU Center would undergo a series of major renovations. There were to be three or four phases to the renovations, scheduled to avoid the Worcester Sharks AHL season. Work on the arena was expected to last three to four summers. Some of the major improvements were a new electrical system, new ice chillers, and a completely new ice floor all of which are original to the arena which opened in 1982. Other improvements to the arena during phase 1 will include a new dasher board system and a new seamless glass system, which are often found in new arenas. During the summer of 2012, phase 2 of the renovations began. These included a new glass wall on the Foster Street side of the building; major improvements to heating, ventilation, and cooling systems; upgrades to restrooms and concessions; and a new dehumidification system. In 2018/2019, a plan of $37 million renovations were announced for the next four years. Thank you for watching and please Like, Subscribe, & Comment on where to head to next!
