The arena seats nearly 7,700, which can be expanded up to a maximum capacity of 9,000 for concerts.

Location and design[edit]

The arena is located just off the I-69C highway and is 5 miles northwest of downtown McAllen, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley region.

History[edit]

The arena held its first event on August 31, 2018, featuring Latin music artist Luis Miguel.
