The Landers Center is an 8,400-seat multi-purpose arena in Southaven, Mississippi. It was built in 2000. It is home to the Mississippi RiverKings, a team in the Southern Professional Hockey League.

Contents

Several now-defunct teams have called the Landers Center home. These teams include the Memphis Xplorers of the AF2 and the Memphis Houn'Dawgs of the American Basketball Association.

It also is used as a concert venue, boxing arena, and for ice shows and circuses. Since 2009, the Mid-South Fair has been held at the Landers Center. Formerly, the fair was held in midtown Memphis at the Fairgrounds.

The center houses a 17,000 square foot convention center, which can be broken down into 10 separate meeting rooms.

NBA Development League

Beginning with the 2017–2018 National Basketball Association season, the Memphis Grizzlies will operate their team of the NBA Development League in the arena. The announcement came after the Grizzlies decided to end their agreement with the Iowa Energy, another D-League team. This will be the second time a basketball team has played a season at the Landers Center. Further details about the team are expected soon.

Name change

On January 4, 2012, Memphis-based Landers Auto Group purchased the naming rights. The name was changed to the Landers Center.
