The Erie Storm play their home games in the Tullio Arena, a multi-purpose facility
in downtown Erie. Opened in 1983, the Tullio Arena accommodates tradeshows, conventions
and meetings. The arena stages concerts, ice shows, football, basketball, hockey, and the
circus, and is home to the OHL's Erie Otters and the NBA Development League's Erie Bayhawks,
as well as the Erie Storm.
Of the arena’s 7,000 fully upholstered chairs, 5,500 are permanent theater-style seats.
Part of the permanent seating can be made to fold away through electrically-operated
telescopic risers, turning the arena floor into 30,000 square feet of exhibition space.
The Tullio Arena is part of a four-facility entertainment complex managed by the Erie
County Convention Center Authority ( www.erieevents.com)
under the direction of Executive Director Casey Wells.
