The arena was built in 1996, along with a Softball Complex, to fully complete South Commons (an area consisting of a baseball and football stadium, and a skateboard park).[9] The venue replaced the Municipal Auditorium, which was constructed in 1955.
The arena is also the primary concert venue in the Greater Columbus area, hosting artists such as KISS (in 1997), Kelly Clarkson (in 2009), and Lady Antebellum (in 2012). The Civic Center has also hosted several professional wrestling events, such as WWE's Friday Night Smackdown (in 2006 and 2014), and WCW Monday Nitro (in 1996).
