The
Arena has hosted nearly every type of event since the Municipal
Auditorium opened in 1936 from U.S. presidential campaigns
to NCAA Final Four Championships.
With barrier-free access to the main floor, it has comfortable seating
for 10,700 people, including 7,300 permanent upholstered seats.
The
Arena features a 92-foot ceiling high enough for a trapeze
artist and a 26,200 square foot floor built of oak two-by-fours
set on end strong enough to support an elephant! Special
sports lighting can be lowered to provide intense lighting at the
center of the floor. An excellent public address system and good
acoustics ensure a great experience for attendees, no matter where
theyre seated.
One
of four self-contained venues in the Municipal Auditorium, the Arena
has its own lighted marquee, box office, show office, coat check,
restrooms and concessions. It is accessible from the south side
of 13th Street, where visitors enter through the splendid 3,600-square-foot
Grand Foyer. The Arena is also connected by covered walkways to
the Convention Center, Conference Center, and the Auditorium Plaza Garage.
