Situated in Shawnee along Route 66, FireLake Arena is owned and operated by the Citizen Potawatomi Nation as part of its broader FireLake entertainment and hospitality development. The multipurpose arena hosts concerts, sporting events, expos and community gatherings throughout the year.

ABOUT FIRELAKE ARENA

Opened in 2013, the arena was constructed to expand large-scale event capacity in central Oklahoma and to support regional tourism and economic development. The project reflects the Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s investment in diversified enterprises beyond gaming, including entertainment, hospitality and community infrastructure.

Since opening, FireLake Arena has hosted nationally touring musicians, professional and amateur sporting competitions, cultural events and community gatherings. The venue contributes to employment opportunities and visitor spending in the Shawnee area.
