The Sioux Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau announced that a new Event Center will be built in Sioux Falls, SD for completion by Fall of 2014. On Tuesday, November 8, 2011 the city of Sioux Falls passed a public vote that supports the new $115 million multi-purpose arena.
The Event Center will be built adjacent to the current Convention Center and Arena adding 30,000 square feet of flat floor space for a combined total of 132,000 square feet within the entire complex. Seating for the facility will be 12,000 for basketball, 10,450 for hockey, up to 13,000 for a concert, 5,750 for rodeo, and 180 standard booths for a tradeshow.

Discussions are also underway to finalize a plan that includes shuttle service to the Empire Mall district and Downtown Sioux Falls where visitors can shop, dine and enjoy the variety of events and attractions the city has to offer.
This Event Center joins an entertainment complex that currently features an 8,000 seat Arena and Convention Center attached to a 243-room hotel, 10,000 seat track and field and football stadium and a 4,000 seat Baseball Stadium.
