About this venue
Concert Hall at The BJCC is one of the principal performing arts venues within the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. With a capacity of approximately 2,835 guests, the hall opened in 1974 and was designed as a large theatre and concert venue with the stage forming the visual focus of the auditorium. It regularly hosts touring concerts, major theatrical productions, family entertainment and Broadway performances, giving it an important role in Birmingham's cultural and entertainment calendar.
The interior is suited to events where clear views of the stage and effective sound projection are central to the experience. Reserved seating and an organized auditorium layout provide a comfortable setting for longer performances, while food and beverage concessions are available during events. Its traditional large-scale performance-hall format works equally well for concerts, musicals, ballet and other stage productions.
The venue is located at 2100 Richard Arrington Jr Blvd N, Birmingham, United States, within the larger BJCC campus in the Uptown area. Numerous parking lots and garages are available within a short walk of the complex, while the Concert Hall can be accessed through its main entrance by BJCC Green and an additional entrance from the 11th Avenue parking area.

About the city
Birmingham, a major urban hub in Alabama, is increasingly seen as a city where sports and music naturally meet Southern charm. A diverse calendar of events—from big matchups to concerts and live shows—draws visitors who want an “all-in-one” experience. The city cultivates an energetic downtown scene, with neighborhoods where it’s easy to find restaurants, bars, and places to unwind before or after the event. With a solid range of accommodations, from hotels in the downtown area to more budget-friendly options across the wider region, a stay here can fit almost any travel plan.
When it comes to arriving and getting around, Birmingham relies on a practical transportation network that makes it easy to reach key arenas and stadiums. Local transit MAX Transit covers much of the metro area and connects important points, which is helpful for visitors who want to avoid parking stress. If you’re flying in, Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) is the main gateway, and getting to downtown and event districts is straightforward by taxi, rideshare services, or a rental car. For rail travelers, Birmingham Intermodal Facility (Amtrak) serves as a central station where it’s easy to catch connections into the city, and strong road access further simplifies arriving by car.
Since you’re already traveling for an event, it’s worth using Birmingham as a sightseeing bonus, too. A stroll through downtown—paired with a stop at local cafés and restaurants—is a great introduction to the city’s vibe, and Railroad Park is a favorite spot to relax and snap photos in an urban green oasis. For sweeping views and a look at the area’s industrial heritage, many choose Vulcan Park & Museum, while a deeper cultural-historical visit often includes the Birmingham Civil Rights District, with landmark locations that add real depth to the city. That way, a sports game or concert trip can easily turn into a complete city break with a clear focus: great entertainment and smooth logistics.
