History
The possibility of a new arena in Savannah was discussed for around 20 years before the announcement of the Enmarket Arena.[3] Discussions began about replacing the Savannah Civic Center started in 2001.[3]
In fall 2018, the City of Savannah announced plans for the construction of a new arena in the westside to replace the Martin Luther King, Jr. Arena at the Savannah Civic Center.[3] In September 2019, the proposed new arena broke ground.[3] In January 2021, the ECHL approved a 2022–23 season expansion team to play out of the new arena.[4] In July 2021, the convenience store chain Enmarket secured the naming rights to the arena to be named Enmarket Arena.[2]
The arena's parking lots are not expected to be completed in time for the arena's opening, and as such a temporary parking plan will be established.[5][6]
In January 2022, a delay was announced due to the ongoing supply chain crisis, construction issues, and the coronavirus pandemic. Shows were postponed until early February.[1][3][7]
The Ghost Pirates' first game at Enmarket Arena took place on November 5, 2022, with a 5–1 victory over the Greenville Swamp Rabbits.[8]
