Entertainment: Dow Event Center

Recreation: Sports Groups

The Saginaw Civic Center, today known as The Dow Event Center, was built in 1972 by the City of Saginaw. The Civic Center was composed of three main parts: Wendler Arena, Heritage Theater and Unity Hall. The center offers area residents hundreds of entertainment, sports, cultural and educational opportunities annually. Acts who have performed at the center in the past include Elvis Presley, Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder, Reba McEntire, Smashing Pumpkins, Kid Rock, Diana Ross, Sesame Street Live, Disney on Ice, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Les Miserables, The Nutcracker Ballet, Rent and Riverdance. The Garber Management Group purchased an Ontario Hockey League team in early 2002. The team was named the Saginaw Spirit and Wendler Arena became its new home. More than 30 home games are played by the Saginaw Spirit in Wendler Arena every year, adding another dimension to the event center. The Dow Chemical Co. of Midland was awarded naming rights to the facility in September 2004. The agreement was mutually beneﬁcial — Dow was able to support a worthy community endeavor and the event center was given an internationally recognized name to help draw performers and shows.
