History
The arena was officially named in honor of long-time Vancleave resident Conrad Mallette in November 2007 and dedicated in February 2008. Mr. Mallette was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Vancleave, a Board Member of both the Pat Harrison Waterway District and the Jackson County Farm Bureau Association, and a Director of the Soil and Water Conservation Commission.
