The Capital Region continues to grow into a vibrant hub of entertainment and nowhere is that transformation more evident than at Mohawk Harbor. Over the last several years, we’ve watched this waterfront area evolve with the addition of Rivers Casino, high-end apartments, modern hotels, and exciting retail options. Now, it’s about to get even better with the debut of M&T Bank Center Schenectady’s newest multi-use arena.
The M&T Bank Center Is Almost Here
Set to open in time for the 2025–26 season, the new M&T Bank Center is a $50 million state-of-the-art arena that will serve as the home for Union College’s Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams. At over 97,000 square feet, this facility is more than just a hockey rink. With seating for 2,200 fans for hockey games and the ability to expand to 3,425 for concerts and shows, it’s designed to host a wide variety of events.

A New Stage for Live Entertainment
The Capital Region has long needed a mid-size venue that fills the gap between small clubs and larger arenas. The M&T Bank Center will offer exactly that: a flexible, modern space where rising artists, touring acts, and regional productions can take the stage in front of thousands.
Whether you’re into hockey, live music, expos, or community celebrations, M&T Bank Center is built to deliver unforgettable experiences right in the heart of Schenectady.
More Than an Arena—A Destination
The addition of the M&T Bank Center only adds to Mohawk Harbor’s appeal as a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike. With a new hotel also under development near the arena, it’s easier than ever to plan a full night or a weekend of fun, food, and entertainment.
