About Amica Mutual Pavilion

Located in the heart of Providence, The Amica Mutual Pavilion (AMP) is New England’s premier multi-use entertainment arena. Home to the AHL Providence Bruins and the Big East Providence College Men’s Basketball team, the AMP hosts a wide variety of sporting events, concerts, family shows, trade shows and more. The arena floor can be set up to accommodate center stage shows, table seating, ice, dirt, basketball, and event trade show booths.

The Amica Mutual Pavilion was built in 1971 and was then known as the Providence Civic Center. Entertainers such as, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Cher and Aerosmith have performed to sell-out crowds at the arena. In 2001 the arena went under its first name change to The Dunkin Donuts Center. In September of 2008, following a multi-million dollar renovation, the Dunkin’ Donuts Center re-opened boosting new seats, a state of the art video scoreboard, facility and concession upgrades, luxury suites, a redesigned concourse and expanded lobby, and a sky-bridge to the Rhode Island Convention Center. Finally, in 2022 the arena got its new name as the Amica Mutual Pavilion, also known as The AMP.

The 14,000-seat AMP offers 31,000 square feet of arena space with a ceiling height of 86 feet, a 25,000-square-foot concourse, a 9,000-square-foot lobby, 20 luxury suites, and five additional meeting/hospitality rooms. There are 5,500 hotel rooms in the Greater Providence area—1,800 located within walking distance of the Center.

The AMP is part of the Rhode Island Convention & Entertainment Complex, which also includes the Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) and Veterans Memorial Auditorium (The VETS).
