Giant Center<br />

Riverboat<br />

Revenue: $11.6<br />

million<br />

The 10,500-seat Giant Center <strong>in</strong> Hershey, Pennsylvania opened <strong>in</strong> 2002 at a cost of $85.0<br />

million. No l<strong>and</strong> acquisition cost was <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the project cost, as the l<strong>and</strong> on which the arena<br />

sits is leased from Hershey Enterta<strong>in</strong>ment <strong>and</strong> Resorts <strong>by</strong> the Township of Derry Industrial <strong>and</strong><br />

Community Development Authority (TDICDA).<br />

The TDICDA issued $25.0 million <strong>in</strong> tax-exempt bonds <strong>and</strong> $25.0 million <strong>in</strong> taxable bonds to<br />

fund arena construction. The tax-exempt bonds were backed <strong>by</strong> a newly implemented two<br />

percent room tax <strong>in</strong> Dauph<strong>in</strong> County. Approximately 70 percent of tax revenues are allocated<br />

toward debt service on the arena bonds, with the rema<strong>in</strong>der go<strong>in</strong>g to other projects <strong>in</strong> the County.<br />

The taxable bonds are non-recourse bonds paid <strong>by</strong> the operations of the Giant Center. There are<br />

no specific revenue streams earmarked to pay the bonds. At the end of the year, the arena’s net<br />

cash flow is distributed <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g order:<br />

1. Debt service on the taxable bonds<br />

2. Payment of TDICDA’s l<strong>and</strong> lease<br />

3. Profit to Hershey through its arena operat<strong>in</strong>g company (Regional Arena Management)<br />

4. TDICDA<br />
