The Fort Bend Epicenter (sometimes stylized as EpiCenter) is a 230,000 square foot (21,368 m2) multi-purpose arena and event space in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg, Texas. It is one of two home venues of LOVB Houston in LOVB Pro. The facility comprises an 8,600-seat arena, conference rooms, a multi-purpose area, and an outdoor pavilion. The arena is owned by Stonehenge LLC, with ownership transferring to Fort Bend County following its bond repayment to the private firm by 2050.[2]
It is named for being at the geographic center of Fort Bend County.[3]
In 2015, Fort Bend County officials began considering building an arena that could provide more events outside of downtown Houston. A feasibility study was conducted thereafter and ended in 2018.[4] The project was unanimously approved by the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court on February 23, 2021.[5] On November 15, 2021, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Epicenter.[4] The arena opened on August 26, 2023.
Facilities
The facility's arena can host large-scale events such as concerts and graduation ceremonies, while its multi-purpose area can host smaller events, such as basketball tournaments. The outdoor pavilion is intended for outdoor sports or livestock events.[3]
