Dort Financial Center to Receive $2 Million Renovation
A new name and a new look are coming to the 51-year old arena in Flint.
Currently, the Dort Financial Event Center is closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, once the building returns to business it will have a new look and a new name as the newly renamed Dort Financial Center is about to undergo a $2 million renovation.
Part of the renovation will actually help The Palace of Auburn Hills live on as 4,000 seats from The Palace will be installed into Dort Financial Center. The black vinyl seats were donated to the arena by Palace owner Tom Gores, who actually grew up in Genesee. The new seats are expected to be finished by Christmas.
