Cajundome, Multi-purpose arena at University of Louisiana campus in Lafayette, USA

The Cajundome features a distinctive dome structure spanning 13,500 seats, making it the largest basketball arena in the Sun Belt Conference and Louisiana.

Construction of the $60 million facility began in January 1982, with the official inauguration taking place on November 10, 1985 under architect Neil Nehrbass.

The arena hosts numerous regional concerts, university ceremonies, basketball games, wrestling matches, and the annual Cajun Heartland State Fair throughout the year.

In 2016, the facility received a $20 million renovation updating seating, concessions, accessibility features, and adding The Table Room for pre-show events.

During hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Cajundome transformed into an evacuation shelter, providing essential support and care facilities for thousands of people.
