Savannah is preparing to begin demolition of the Martin Luther King Jr. Arena this June, marking the next phase of a long discussed transformation of the Civic Center site.
In June 2024, Savannah City Council voted 7 to 1 in favor of demolishing the arena and renovating the Johnny Mercer Theater, ballroom, and community meeting spaces. The decision followed years of debate, which intensified after the opening of Enmarket Arena shifted the city’s event landscape.
