The arrival of two professional athletics teams in the 21st century have helped bolster the Allentown economy, which has historically been considered part of the Rust Belt. In Center City Allentown, PPL Center, an 8,500-capacity indoor arena, opened in September 2014 as the new home for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League, the primary development team of the National Hockey League's Philadelphia Flyers. PPL Center also hosts major concerts and entertainment events. In East Allentown, Coca-Cola Park, a 10,178-capacity baseball stadium, opened in March 2008 as the new home for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League, the Triple-A-level Minor League affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball.

Previously established attractions include the Allentown Art Museum, which completed a $15.4 million expansion projected in 2010–11, and the Baum School of Art, the city's primary art school. Several Allentown-based universities universities, including Cedar Crest College and Muhlenberg College, attract scholars and academics from all over the country.
