SUMMARY: The CEO of Oak View Group (OVG), hired to manage Mobile’s new arena, was indicted on federal conspiracy charges linked to bid-rigging in another city. Despite this, Mobile officials say the arena project remains unaffected and on schedule for early 2027 completion. OVG secured a 22-year contract in February to manage the new Mobile Arena, the Mobile Convention Center, and the Saenger Theatre, receiving $400,000 annually for operations, maintenance, and event booking. The City of Mobile confirmed no bidding was involved in contract selection, and a local OVG team now oversees these venues.
