About
On January 19, 2010, the Utah Valley University announced its plans to sell the naming rights to the arena at the request of the donor family, to help the university raise money.[2] At the same time, the university named its education building after David O. McKay. On August 30, 2010, Utah Community Credit Union announced it acquired the naming rights to the arena.[3]
The UCCU Center has grown to host many top touring shows such as ZZ Top, Boston, Lonestar, Styx, Maroon 5, Lifehouse, INXS, OneRepublic, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Kelly Clarkson and more recently The Killers, Phillip Phillips, and Pentatonix.
Concerts
Fall Out Boy & Paramore brought their co-headlining tour, MONUMENTOUR to the center on August 13th, 2014 with New Politics as the opening act.
