601 7th Street
Augusta, GA 30901
Opened: January 24, 1980
Originally known as the Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center, now called the James Brown Arena, is a multi-purpose complex located in Augusta, Georgia. It features an 8,000 seat arena, renamed the James Brown Arena, in honor of musician James Brown on August 22, 2006. The complex also features a 2,800 seat theater, the William B. Bell Auditorium, and a 14,500 square-foot exhibit hall that opens into a 23,000 square-foot arena floor. It is managed by Spectra Experiences.

The James Brown Arena is the former home of the ECHL's Augusta Lynx from 1998-2008, the AF2's Augusta Stallions from 2000-2002, Augusta Spartans from 2006-2007, and the Southern Professional Hockey League's Augusta RiverHawks from 2010-2013.

The center-hung Fair Play scoreboard dates to the arena's opening in 1980, and in recent years has been joined by additional scoreboards and a Trans-Lux LED video display which can be found at each end of the arena.
