Mark of the Quad

Moline, Illinois, USA

The Mark of the Quad is the most successful arena of its type in history. It’s hosted more than 4,000 events and earned “Arena of the Year” in its size category four years in a row. The Mark has positively impacted its surroundings, turning a formerly blighted industrial neighborhood into a bustling tourist and retail center with a $1 million riverwalk, a hotel, numerous restaurants and a transportation center.

The economic return is $10 million-plus annually.
