Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Alliant Energy PowerHouse

370 1st Avenue NE

Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401

Located in the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids, the arena sits steps from restaurants, bars, and the Cedar River. It’s approximately 120 miles from Des Moines, making it an easy day trip or overnight getaway.

Parking: Multiple nearby parking ramps and surface lots serve the venue; event rates typically range from $5–$10. Street parking may be available but can fill quickly.
Public Transit: Cedar Rapids Transit bus routes serve downtown, with stops within walking distance of the arena.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance for seamless arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. Downtown ramps and surface lots are convenient but can get busy on event nights, and arriving early gives you time to park, pass security, and find your seats without rushing. Clear bag screening is in place, so packing light helps you move through the lines faster.

As an indoor venue, weather won’t impact your seat or the show — but conditions may affect travel and downtown walking, so dress accordingly for the season. If you’re using public transit or rideshare, build in a buffer for traffic near the arena and designate a meet-up point for your group.

Cell service is generally good, though it can get congested at peak entry times. Download your mobile tickets ahead of time, review the Alliant Energy PowerHouse seating chart so you know your section, and have your payment method ready should you want concessions or merchandise.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s layout is straightforward: a central floor flanked by a full bowl of numbered sections, with concourses offering quick access to concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands. You’ll find club seating and suites on elevated levels, all reachable via elevators and ramps.

Concession stands serve classic arena fare — pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and snacks — alongside select locations that feature local craft beer and specialty items. ATMs are located on the concourse, and merchandise booths typically open when doors do. Expect some walking between sections; comfortable footwear is a smart choice if you plan to explore the venue or browse the concourse between sets.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Clear bags only, up to 12" x 6" x 12"; small clutches are allowed.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, laser pointers, noisemakers, and balloons.
Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
Plan your parking — nearby ramps can fill quickly and typically charge $5–$10 during events.
Use the designated rideshare zone near the main entrance for an easier pickup after the show.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it. With the arena’s prime downtown location, you can grab dinner, stroll along the Cedar River, and catch exterior lighting displays before you head inside. If your group is arriving separately, choose a nearby restaurant or a clear landmark by the main entrance as your meeting spot.

Check the event setup in advance — many shows feature floor seating, while others use the full arena bowl. Reviewing the Alliant Energy PowerHouse seating chart helps you plan your route from entry to your section and decide whether you want to be close to the stage, centered for symmetry, or elevated for a panoramic view. For family shows and tournaments, build in extra time for merchandise and concessions, which are popular right as doors open.

If you’re traveling from Des Moines or surrounding areas, consider arriving early to avoid traffic and enjoy Cedar Rapids attractions nearby. A little planning turns a great show into an unforgettable downtown experience.

Accessibility

Alliant Energy PowerHouse is ADA-accessible, with accessible seating available throughout the arena, elevators to all levels, and ramps at main entrances. Nearby ramps and lots offer ADA parking, and assistive listening devices are available upon request.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Select stands also feature local craft beer and specialty items, giving you a taste of the Cedar Rapids scene while you’re at your seat.

Concessions and merchandise typically open when doors do, and lines are shortest right at entry or during support acts and intermissions. If you prefer to explore downtown dining before the show, see the nearby options below.
