Cajundome events — Lafayette, Louisiana

Discover the Premier Cajundome Arena

The Cajundome is more than an arena — it's a community centerpiece that brings Cajun Country together for can't-miss moments. Set on the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus, this multi-purpose venue hosts everything from blockbuster concerts to college hoops — making Cajundome events a staple of the region’s live entertainment calendar.

Opened in 1985, the Cajundome is known for its distinctive domed roof and flexible floor plan. With seating for up to 13,500, it’s engineered to shift smoothly between concerts, NCAA basketball, conventions, family shows, and more — supported by modern sound, lighting, and adaptable staging.

Over the years, it has welcomed elite talent and touring spectacles, including Elton John, Garth Brooks, Metallica, KISS, WWE, Cher, George Strait, Taylor Swift, Cirque du Soleil, Disney on Ice, and Monster Jam.

As a major regional event hub, the Cajundome has also played a vital role beyond entertainment — serving as an emergency shelter during hurricanes and natural disasters. Its prominent presence and resilient design underscore its status as a trusted community landmark.

Whether you're here for a sellout show or a rivalry game, the Cajundome delivers high-energy experiences, streamlined entry, and great sightlines throughout. It’s a venue built to handle big moments — and to make each one unforgettable.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Cajundome offers seating for approximately 13,500 guests, with a traditional arena bowl encircling the floor and configurations that adapt for concerts, basketball, family shows, and conventions. Depending on the event, you’ll find a mix of reserved seating, general admission floor setups, suites, and club-level options.

• Lower Bowl Center Sections: For concerts and basketball, the lower bowl at center court or centered on the stage typically delivers the best combination of sightlines and acoustics. These seats keep you close to the action without sacrificing perspective.
• Floor Seating (Concerts): When concerts offer floor sections, you’ll be as close as it gets. This area is ideal for fans who want to be near the stage; keep in mind sightlines can vary based on staging and production elements.
• Suites & Club-Level: Suites and club-level seating provide a premium vantage point with more privacy and comfort. These sections balance elevation and proximity for a relaxed, unobstructed view of the floor.
• End Sections (Basketball): Behind-the-basket views give you a unique angle on game action and can offer strong value. For family shows or end-stage concerts, check stage orientation when you review options.
• Accessible Seating: Accessible locations are available throughout the arena at various price levels, ensuring inclusive views and easy access to amenities.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent lots; parking fees may apply for major events. Additional parking is available at Cajun Field with shuttle service during large events.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime to allow time for parking, security screening, and finding your seats. Lines move efficiently, but arriving early ensures a smoother entry and time to explore the concourse, grab concessions, and check out merchandise stands.

The Cajundome is an indoor venue — you’ll enjoy climate-controlled comfort inside — but outdoor parking areas are exposed to the elements. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella for the walk from your car, and consider light layers for temperature changes between the concourse and seating bowl.

Expect moderate walking from nearby lots, especially during large events that utilize parking at Cajun Field with shuttle service to the arena. Accessible routes are available, and mobility shuttles help guests traveling from remote parking areas at major events.

Venue Navigation

The Cajundome’s circular concourse makes it easy to find your section, with clear wayfinding to concessions, restrooms, and guest services. You’ll also find ATMs and charging stations throughout the concourse, so you can stay powered up and ready to capture the moments that matter.

Concession stands serve classic arena fare — pizza, burgers, hot dogs, nachos — along with local Cajun specialties and regional beers at select locations. Merchandise stands pop up for concerts, tours, and basketball games. The venue also features a box office and first aid station for added convenience. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you’ll be moving between levels or walking from remote parking.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bag policy in effect; bags must not exceed 12"x6"x12". Small clutches are allowed.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverages, professional cameras, large bags, laser pointers, noisemakers, and illegal substances.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry allowed once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Only ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

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 parking at Cajun Field during major events, allow extra time for shuttle service to and from the arena.
• Pack light and follow the clear bag policy to speed up entry.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the concourse, check out local fare at select concession stands, and pick up event merchandise before lines build. If you’re organizing a group, set a meeting spot inside the main entrance or near guest services so everyone reconnects quickly after security screening.

Because the Cajundome is a flexible, multi-use venue, seating and staging can vary by show. Review the Cajundome seating chart in advance to choose your preferred viewpoint — especially for end-stage concerts, family shows, and basketball. For major events that use additional parking at Cajun Field, build shuttle time into your schedule so you don’t miss the opening.

Keep an eye out for special lighting on the domed exterior during big nights — it’s a fun photo op before tipoff or showtime. Planning ahead by browsing Cajundome upcoming events on Ticket Purchase helps you map out your season and snag great seats before popular dates sell out.

Concession locations are spread throughout the concourse, making it easy to grab food and return to your seats without missing a beat. Lines move quickly pre-show and at intermission, but arriving early helps you avoid the rush.
