What To Know About The DCU Center

In 2025, The U.S. Finals: Worcester makes a return visit to the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, a familiar venue for The U.S. Finals and cheer/dance events in general.

The storied history of the DCU Center began in 1982 with a memorable performance by Frank Sinatra, and it has been a destination for performers and events since. Among the regulars are Disney on Ice, monster trucks, the Harlem Globetrotters, NCAA hockey and basketball, high school sports and more.

The property features more than 100,000 square feet of exhibit space, 11 meeting rooms, a ballroom, in-house catering and the flexibility to host the variety of events. A highlight of the convention center is a panoramic view of downtown Worcester. 

Since 2006, the DCU Center has been home to professional hockey. First were the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League (2006-2015) and then the ECHL’s Worcester Railers Hockey Club (founded in 2016). Should the Railers make the 2025 playoffs, there might be a chance to catch a game or two during the U.S. Finals.
