In 1976, with the opening of Albany Mall in downtown Albany, many well-established firms closed down their stores. Mayor James Gray, Sr. then decided to construct the civic center in order to revitalize the area downtown. Since the center was designed to facilitate convention and arena purposes, it featured an exhibit space of forty-six thousand square feet with an additional space of six thousand feet for meeting room requirements. As a result it can hold a variety of shows including wrestling and boxing with a capacity of more than nine thousand.

Albany Civic Center has previously been home to af2's South Georgia Wildcats, ABA's Albany Shockwave, Albany States College Golden Rams, and the now defunct GBA's Albany Sharp Shooters.
