New Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center Opens

And with that snip of scissors, the $100,000,000 expansion of the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center is done. A packed house of business, political and community leaders, say this could a cornerstone of rebuilding the city and regional economy.

I've not seen any reports on the capacity of the civic center. Is it still 13,000 or has capacity been increased?

I don't know; it has the word "Area" in it, and I am looking for the one that says Charleston Area Convention Center. If it says Collisium in it, it shoud be 13,500. But I am not sure.
