Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially for large concerts, popular Amarillo Civic Center upcoming events, or major sporting matchups. Early arrival makes parking easier, helps you beat entry lines, and gives you time to find your seats and explore concessions.

While most spaces are indoors, some events in the Grand Plaza are outdoors and subject to Texas Panhandle weather — high winds or storms can pop up quickly. Check the forecast and dress accordingly if you’ll be outside, and consider layers for comfort as temperatures can vary between indoor venues and outdoor areas.

The complex is sizable and spread out, with multiple facilities connected by concourses and walkways. Expect moderate walking between the auditorium, coliseum, and exhibit areas; follow event signage and ushers’ directions to reach your section efficiently.

Venue Navigation

The Amarillo Civic Center Complex is designed for flexibility, with clear wayfinding to the auditorium, coliseum, exhibit halls, meeting rooms, and the grand plaza. Elevators and ramps access multiple levels, and accessible seating is available throughout.

You’ll find multiple concession stands serving snacks, soft drinks, beer, and light meals, along with merchandise stands during concerts, sporting events, and conventions. ATMs are located in main lobby areas, and free Wi‑Fi is available in public spaces — handy for mobile entry and coordinating meetups. Comfortable footwear is a plus if your event spans multiple facilities or you plan to explore the exhibit areas.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bags may be subject to search. Size restrictions and clear bag policies may apply for certain events — check event details in advance.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras (without credential), laser pointers, and noisemakers.
• Re-entry Policy: Typically not allowed; exceptions may be made for certain events — confirm with event staff.

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.
• If your event uses general admission areas (Grand Plaza or exhibit halls), arrive early for preferred viewing.
• For outdoor plaza events, bring a light layer — Panhandle weather can change quickly.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it. With its downtown location, the Amarillo Civic Center is steps from a range of restaurants and bars, so you can grab dinner or drinks before doors open. If you’re attending a trade show or convention, plan short breaks to explore nearby coffee spots or schedule a group lunch between sessions.

If you’re coordinating with friends for a busy show, set a designated meet-up point inside the main lobby or by a specific concession stand to avoid last-minute confusion. Free Wi‑Fi in public areas helps you stay connected and share updates about the schedule or set times.

Have a little extra time? Explore downtown murals or make a quick detour to nearby attractions for photo ops before the show. It’s an easy way to elevate your experience around Amarillo Civic Center events.
