Cable Dahmer Arena (formerly, Silverstein Eye Centers Arena and Independence Events Center)[4] is a 5,800-seat multi-purpose indoor arena in Independence, Missouri, United States. It was opened in November 2009. It serves as the home arena and administrative offices for Kansas City Mavericks in the ECHL, as well as hosts the home games of the Kansas City Comets of the Major Arena Soccer League. The arena hosts more than 100 events every year, with a very large spectrum of its events including: trade shows, professional sporting events, festivals, community events, concerts and its primary tenant, Kansas City Mavericks.[5]
The arena which is owned by the city of Independence is just southeast of the Interstate 70/Interstate 470 interchange. The privately owned Independence Center shopping center is just north of it across Interstate 70.
The arena has hosted many artists including Ariana Grande (who kicked off her major world tour here), Bruno Mars, Alan Jackson, and many more. On February 26, 2020, the arena hosted an episode of AEW Dynamite. Another episode was filmed at the arena on November 3, 2021.[6] The arena hosted All Elite Wrestling's Title Tuesday event on October 10, 2023.[7][8]
The St. Louis Blues played a home exhibition pre-season game against the Chicago Blackhawks on October 2, 2021. The Blues returned Cable Dahmer after they borrowed it on October 1, 2022 taking on the Dallas Stars, and again on September 30, 2023 with another match up against the Stars.
