Standing in the heart of the Pioneer Valley, the MassMutual Center is most diverse function space in Western Mass. Boasting 100,000 sq.ft of flexible space the MassMutual Center is the perfect back drop for any event. All under one roof the MassMutual Center offers an elegant ballroom, five fully-functional meeting rooms, a 40,000 sf. exhibit space, plus a totally renovated 8,000-seat arena. What more could you look for in one building?

The MassMutual Center provides the convention planner a state-of-the-art venue option, offering terrific value. There’s plenty of room for exhibits, meetings and spectacular events. But Springfield and the Pioneer Valley go a step further; all of this is available without big-city traffic, lodging and pricing headaches.

In October of 2005 the MCCA contracted out the management of the MassMutual Center to Global Spectrum.  Global Spectrum is the fastest growing firm in the public assembly facility management field with more than 80 facilities throughout the United States and Canada. The Philadelphia-based company is part of one of the world’s largest sports and entertainment firms Comcast-Spectacor, which also owns the Wells Fargo Center, the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League, Flyers Skate Zone, a series of community ice skating rinks, Comcast SportsNet, a regional sports programming network, Ovations Food Services, a food and beverage services provider, New Era Tickets, a full-service ticketing and marketing product for public assembly facilities, and Front Row Marketing Services, a commercial rights sales company
