TL;DR
Big Chicken, a restaurant owned by Shaquille O'Neal, is opening at Acrisure Arena in Greater Palm Springs. The arena, developed by Oak View Group, will host various events and feature an ice-skating facility.
Located in the heart of Coachella Valley, Acrisure Arena is not only home to the Coachella Valley Firebirds, the AHL’s 32nd Franchise and the affiliate of the Seattle Kraken, but will also host a variety of sports, music, comedy, and family events, bringing year-round entertainment to the region. The arena also features an adjoining ice-skating facility, the Berger Foundation Iceplex, open to the community year-round to use as a gathering space and as the training center for the AHL team.
“We’ve been eagerly awaiting the Acrisure Arena opening alongside fans and are confident that the community is going to love the BIG flavor of our menu items,” said Josh Halpern, CEO of Big Chicken.
Developed by Oak View Group (OVG), the arena will feature 11,000 capacity, including modern suites and four premium hospitality clubs. Additionally, the building will serve as a venue providing a rehearsal space for artists launching major tours, a new routing model that will service the music needs on the West Coast, and the next major destination for artist residencies.
