As one of the busiest multipurpose arenas in the nation, the Prudential Center is home to professional hockey, college basketball, and a steady stream of world-class concerts and live entertainment. With a packed calendar and more than 18,700 fans filling the seats on event days, the pressure to deliver an exceptional guest experience is constant.

“Prudential Center is a unique venue because it hosts a wide range of events, from Monster Jams to New Jersey Devil games,” says Santiago Nunez, ɫ����Project Manager for the Prudential Center.

Behind the scenes, that responsibility extends far beyond the scoreboard or the stage. It requires a facilities partner who can respond with speed, precision, and unwavering quality.

Challenge

With events often scheduled back-to-back, the Prudential Center requires complete venue transformations in just a few hours.

“Our team cleans up, sets up, and we make sure the space is optimized for the next event,” says Nunez.

The challenge isn’t just speed; it’s maintaining consistency and quality under relentless time pressure so that no fan’s experience is compromised.

"No matter how quickly the turnaround time is, we work together so the guest experience is never compromised."
