The arena has been holding events since 1985. The types of events in the modern age currently include rodeos, monster truck wars, boxing, and concerts. However, the arena is also available for other major events and can host groups of people up to 7,000. From early June to the end of August, however, the arena is occupied by the Mesquite Championship Rodeo and is not available then. Otherwise, the arena, along with the convention center, can be reserved for such events as business meetings, family reunions, trade shows, conventions, holiday parties, weddings and receptions, birthday parties, and company training.[4][5][6]
