Venues Today Inc. is the leading source of original reporting for live entertainment and events, serving management, owners, and suppliers to music, sports, and meeting venues internationally with an average of 1,500-2,000 venues reporting.

“This recognition is a byproduct of the unwavering dedication of our staff and extraordinary support we receive from Florida State University,” says Spectra’s Ben Weiss, General Manager of the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. “We are very fortunate that the University continues to make investments into this facility. The positive response from our industry partners is reflected in the volume of entertainment we’ve been able to present.”

Over the last year, the Tucker Center hosted a variety of concerts including Chance The Rapper, Florida Georgia Line’s “Dig Your Roots Tour”, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lil Wayne and Toby Mac. Other events that contributed to the venue’s #3 ranking include Daniel Tosh’s “Tosh.Show On Campus Tour”, Monster Jam, The Harlem Globetrotters, ANNIE The Musical, Katt Williams’ “Conspiracy Theory Tour”, Sesame Street Live, Disney Live, The Price is Right Live, WWE Live, and the 2017 Women’s NCAA Tournament 1st & 2nd rounds.
