Mizzou Arena is an indoor arena located on the campus of the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Home to the school's men's and women's basketball teams as well as Mizzou gymnastics, the facility opened in November 2004 in addition to the Hearnes Center (which still hosts many other indoor events) as the school's flagship indoor sports facility. The arena also serves as the Columbia-Jefferson City market's venue for well-known 'arena' acts such as Rascal Flatts, Luke Bryan and the Eagles. The arched-roof building seats 15,061, and is located just south of Hearnes and Memorial Stadium. The arena is host to Missouri State High School Activities Association championships for boys and girls basketball, as well as wrestling. It is also set to become the host of the Missouri FFA State Convention in the coming years which is currently held at the Hearnes Center. Mizzou arena was originally known as Paige Sports Arena.
