The Albany Capital Center and MVP Arena are fully air-conditioned, have loading docks (MVP Arena has one large elephant door that allows truck access to the floor), high-speed internet connections, Wi-Fi, parking for oversized vehicles, and many other amenities. All of the buildings’ specifications are listed below.
The Albany Capital Center and MVP Arena continue to comply with CDC and Government guidelines and they are enhancing their already stringent standards.
