The James Brown Arena

It's been called one of the loudest, most hostile, most intimidating buildings in the ECHL by opposing coaches and players, but as far as the Augusta Lynx are concerned, there is no place like home. That home is the James Brown Arena, the arena in downtown Augusta that truly gives the Lynx home ice advantage. That advantage is crucial in pro hockey, and no team appreciates that more than the Lynx. Around the ECHL, players, coaches and officials alike agree James Brown Arena is one of the toughest buildings in the league for visiting teams, especially the Lynx' fiercest rivals in the South Division!

The James Brown Arena address is: 601 7th Street, Augusta, GA 30903.
