The Ford Center in Evansville has been nominated for Arena of the Year for the 57th Annual ACM Awards. That's HUGE! It really is a great venue. Plus, think about the shows they put on last year after a 2020 that we all would like to forget. Justin Moore, Blake Shelton, Lady A, Eric Church, and even George Strait all performed at the Ford Center in 2021. They are nominated alongside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Bok Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, and Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. All of which are great venues, but what a huge achievement it would be to see the Ford Center take home the win!

You can find out if the Ford Center will win for Arena of the Year at the 57th annual ACM Awards on March 7 live from Vegas and live streaming exclusively on Prime Video. Congratulations, Ford Center! We are all pulling for you!
