    I too am trying to add a widget area to the center of my header. I am running Enterprise Pro.

    I successfully reduced the size of the existing site-title and widget-area to make ample room between them to add a new widget area. I also successfully registered a new widget area and it is showing on the Genesis Widgets dialog. The only thing I have not gotten to work is actually displaying the new widget area - anywhere, let alone in the middle of the header where I want it to be.

    I did follow the directions for adding the new widget area to a hook and displaying it on a page - to the best of my understanding and ability, but nothing shows anywhere.

    Here is the code I added to the functions.php file:

    add_action( 'genesis-header', 'sp_header_center_widget', 11 );
    function sp_header_center_widget() {
    genesis_widget_area( 'header-center', array (
    'before' => '<div class="header-center widget-area">',
    'after' => '</div',
    ) );
