Veterans Memorial Auditorium
When the cornerstone to Veterans Memorial Auditorium was laid in 1954, it was one of the largest arenas and exhibit halls in the country. Iowa and Des Moines competed with the leading venues in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.
"Vets" has become a part of Iowa's history, playing host to everyone from leading entertainers to future Presidents to high school athletes seeking state titles.
Vets Auditorium will continue to play a role in the future of our state, and be a key component of the Iowa Events Center. This historic arena will undergo more than $5 million in renovations, modernizing much of the facility to complement the new construction.
Directly joined to Hy-Vee Hall, and connected by skywalk and tunnel to Wells Fargo Arena, Vets Auditorium will provide maximum flexibility for events. Its two levels offer nearly 100,000 square feet of floor space for exhibits and trades shows, along with more than 7,200 seats for smaller arena events.
Veterans Memorial Auditorium has been a part of Iowa's history for nearly a half century. As a major component of the Iowa Events Center, it is now a part of the future. |
