Des Moines is turning a new page in entertainment and sports history. On July 1, 2025, the iconic Wells Fargo Arena has been officially renamed Casey’s Center, marking the beginning of a 10-year naming rights partnership between Casey’s and the Iowa Events Center.
For two decades, the venue has been the heart of downtown Des Moines, hosting everything from Iowa Wild hockey games to major concerts and community events. Now, with the transition to Casey’s Center, it is embracing a new identity that reflects both its versatility and its Iowa roots.
If you've ever searched for "Casey's near me" while on the road, you know the brand is synonymous with convenience, community, and - of course - pizza. That same spirit is now coming to the heart of Des Moines.

Fans can look forward to more than just a name change. Casey’s Center now has some of Casey’s signature offerings (including our famous handmade pizza and snacks). This means grabbing a slice of Casey’s pizza while cheering on your favorite team or singing along at a concert is now a reality!
The renaming to Casey’s Center is more than a branding update - it’s a celebration of Iowa pride and a commitment to the community. Central Iowa residents and visitors alike can look forward to a refreshing experience at one of the Midwest’s premier venues.
