The building features an art deco lobby spanning 4,000 square feet and contains 234 arena style box seats throughout the main performance space.

The facility maintains six dressing rooms, five box office windows, and four large concession areas with a maximum capacity of 7,000 people for concerts.

The arena includes a modified milk truck that functions as a mobile beer station equipped with eight tap lines for special events.
