Minnesota State University, Mankato Mavericks: Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center

Problem

As the home of Minnesota State University’s Mavericks hockey programs, the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center relies on clear, reliable audio for game presentations, announcements, emergency communications and live events.

• The venue’s aging sound system was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
• Performance and flexibility fell short of modern expectations for a sports and entertainment facility.

Solution

EDC partnered with venue leadership to modernize the facility’s audio system using the ELEVATE framework.

• Advanced acoustic analysis, including EASE modeling, was used to engineer a solution tailored to the space.
• The system was designed around performance, reliability and long-term operational needs.

Outcome

The upgraded system delivers exceptional speech intelligibility, centralized control and long-term reliability.

• A modern, future-ready audio solution built to support a wide range of events and critical communications.
• A championship-caliber experience for Mavericks fans, athletes, performers and visitors for years to come.
