With seating for over 2,500 and
an outstanding acoustical rating,
the American Bank Center Selena
Auditorium has been one of the most
attended venues for entertainment in
the Coastal Bend area.
The 2004 renovation
and expansion includes an
entrance to the grand lobby
off of Shoreline Boulevard
and a revitalized entrance
from the stairways on the
Chapparral Street side.
Second level access has
been developed, allowing
event attendees to move
from the auditorium to the
arena or convention center
with ease.
In 1996, the auditorium
3
was named for the late Tejano
entertainer, Selena Quintanilla -
Perez, known simply as “Selena” to her
adoring fans. Known for her powerful
voice, sexy dance moves, and unique
costume designs, Selena was the No. 1
female Latino star in the United States
and Mexico before her untimely death
on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi,
Texas at the age of 23.
