It was opened to the public on January 1, 1985, as a music center. When it was first built, it had a McKnight Theatre with 306 seats only and was later demolished and renovated. The renovated venue consisted of a music theatre with a capacity of 19,000 seats and a concert hall with 1,903 seats. The Ordway Center of performing arts was built with the help of Ordway’s family’s money and was also named after him in honor.
