Verizon Wireless Arena
555 Elm St
Manchester, NH 03101
Opened: November 15, 2001
The Verizon Wireless Arena (now called the Southern New Hampshire University Arena or SNHU Arena) is an indoor events arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, and seats 9,852 for ice hockey, 11,140 for basketball and up to 11,770 for concerts.

The facility was originally known during construction as Manchester Civic Arena, and this name still appears on most of the directional signs around town. Its naming rights were sold prior to opening in 2001 and was called Verizon Wireless Arena.

On February 2, 2016, Southern New Hampshire University announced that it had purchased the naming rights from the then SMG property management company. The specific amount of money involved was never revealed, but it is known that the deal provides for student internships at the arena, and that the school will be able to use the arena for its own sporting and other events. The partnership between SMG and the university ran for a period of at least ten years after the arena officially changed its name on September 1, 2016.
