addition to college sports, the venue regularly hosts conventions, trade shows, banquets and concerts given by some of the greats, such as Elton John.

The arena, built in 1985, was upgraded and expanded during a $22 million renovation in 2016. The convention center, which opened in 2002, features a 37,000-square-foot exhibit hall and an 11,000-square-foot ballroom that can be divided into five spaces. The arena also has meeting spaces, including a 6,000-square-foot ballroom and meeting rooms of 1,000 to 2,700 square feet.

In addition to its expansive and varied facilities, the Cajundome offers a selection of amenities to help events run smoothly. Its onsite catering team can accommodate a range of menus, while planners can also use the venue’s audiovisual equipment and production team. Finally, helpful event staff, from a booking team to an event manager, can assist a planner with the logistics of their event.

“The people here in Louisiana are some of the biggest resources. We have a friendly, hospitable staff that goes above and beyond to make sure your event is a success,” said Casey White, marketing director at the Cajundome and Convention Center.
