November 2024 marks the final leg of the -led Gold Over America Tour. The tour, which started on September 16 at Oceanside, California, will arrive at its penultimate destination on November 2. So before closing the curtain on the 2024 GOAT in Detroit, Biles & Co. will dazzle audiences at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati.
Throughout the tour, Biles and her fellow gymnasts have competed in some of the biggest areas each city has to offer, and the Heritage Bank Center is no different. The venue for the 31st show of the 2024 Gold Over America Tour is the largest indoor arena in Cincinnati. However, there’s much more to the 40-year-old venue than being adequate size for the occasion.
Encompassing 346,100 sq. ft. the massive arena is all set to welcome the Gold Over America Tour crew and the thousands of fans that’ll attend the show. With over 17,500 seats on offer, the indoor arena also measures up to the other venues that hosted what sponsor Athleta has described as a “pop concert-style spectacle.” However, Heritage Bank Arena is no stranger to large crowds.
The ECHL ice hockey team, Cincinnati Cyclones, called the stadium their home. However, minor league ice hockey games rarely utilize more than 14,000 of the over 17,000 capacity. Yet another aspect that makes Heritage Bank Center the perfect venue for the Simone Biles-led show is the location. Situated on the banks of the Ohio River, Heritage Bank Center stands right beside Cincinnati’s iconic baseball stadium, the Great American Ballpark.
