Atlantic City Convention Center Wiki Information
The Atlantic City Convention Center
is located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The Center was developed in part as an aspect of the city's ongoing attempt to recreate itself as a year-round destination rather than a mere summer resort — the same thought process that later led to its development as the first major gambling center in the U.S. outside of Nevada in modern times.
Opening in 1997, the center includes of showroom space, 5 exhibit halls, 45 meeting rooms, a garage with 1,400 parking spaces, and an adjacent Sheraton hotel.
It is the home of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association high school wrestling championships.
Outside the convention center is an interactive bronze statue of Bert Parks holding a crown. When a visitor puts their head inside the crown, sensors activate a recorded playback of his "There She Is..."
line through speakers hidden behind nearby bushes. [1]
