The dynamic, versatile design of the Civic Arena includes flexible seating capabilities that enable us to accommodate any type of event. We can provide general assembly seating for up to 4,200 or as much as 19,000 square feet of unobstructed exhibit space or performing surface along with seating for 2,300. With our superb acoustics and lighting plus a clear view of activities from all locations, we can honestly say "there's not a bad seat in the house."

Modular walls within our meeting room complex allow arrangements for groups of 25 up to 300. These spacious rooms are ideal for seminars, banquets, private meetings and receptions.

Access to the building is excellent for exhibitors, performers and audiences. Our facilities are completely equipped for and easily accessible to the handicapped.

The Arena is also a Ticketmaster Outlet.
