Van Andel Arena, a world-class venue, has put Grand Rapids on the map as a premiere destination for entertainment. DK Security is proud to have provided security services since their opening in 1996.

Now, Van Andel Arena has been nominated for Arena of the Year by the Academy of Country Music.

The arena is among five nominees, which includes Infinite Energy Center, in Duluth, Georgia; Madison Square Garden in New York, New York; Staples Center in Los Angeles, California; and VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
