Seating Recommendations and Charts

Cajundome Convention Center offers seating for approximately 25 to 5,000 guests, depending on the configuration of your event. With a flexible layout that supports theater-style, banquet, classroom, and open-floor expo setups — plus VIP and breakout rooms — the Cajundome Convention Center seating chart can vary from show to show.

• Theater-Style Setup: Ideal for concerts, speakers, and ceremonies, with rows oriented toward a main stage for clear sightlines. For the most direct views, choose centered sections near the front or middle rows, balancing proximity with overall perspective.
• Banquet Rounds: Perfect for galas and receptions, offering comfortable spacing for dining and conversation. Tables nearer the stage or presentation area keep you close to the action without sacrificing room to mingle.
• Classroom Seating: Designed for training and conferences, with tables and chairs facing forward for note-taking and extended sessions. Select front-half seating for optimal engagement with presenters and screens.
• VIP and Breakout Rooms: Great for private receptions, meet-and-greets, or small-group sessions. These spaces often provide a more intimate experience and convenient amenities.
• Exhibit Floor with Perimeter Seating: During expos, look for seating areas along the show floor edges for convenient breaks between booths and presentations.

Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience. If you’re deciding between configurations, referencing the Cajundome Convention Center seating chart for your specific event is the best way to visualize the room and find the right vantage point.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Cajundome Convention Center

Lafayette, Louisiana 70506

Located in Lafayette — approximately 135 miles west of New Orleans — the Convention Center sits at the crossroads of I-10 and I-49, making it easy to reach from across Acadiana and beyond.

• Parking: On-site parking available; typically ample for events.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options; local bus service available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before large events to allow time for parking, entry, and wayfinding. This buffer helps you beat peak crowds and settle into your seat before the program begins. If you’re attending a conference or expo with registration, arriving early smooths check-in and lets you preview the floor.

Because the Cajundome Convention Center is an indoor venue, weather is generally not a concern once you’re inside. Still, check the forecast for arrival and departure — a quick umbrella or light jacket can make the walk from parking more comfortable if it’s raining.

If you’re using rideshare, confirm the designated pickup/dropoff zone near the main entrance and share your location with your group to reconnect after the event. For bus service, review local route schedules in advance and build in extra time for transfers. Cell service is generally good, though it may be limited during high-attendance events, so downloading tickets and maps ahead of time is a smart move.

Venue Navigation

The Convention Center features a flexible layout with multiple meeting rooms, ballrooms, and exhibit halls that can be adapted for events of all sizes. Concession stands operate during major events, and merchandise kiosks may be available for select shows. You’ll also find ATMs on-site for added convenience.

Wayfinding is straightforward, with accessible entrances and minimal elevation changes throughout the facility. If you’re attending a multi-session conference or expo, wear comfortable shoes — you may be walking between halls, breakout rooms, and exhibit areas across the day.

• Arrive 60–90 minutes early for larger conventions, expos, or concerts to simplify parking and entry.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by planning around your schedule of Cajundome Convention Center events. If you’re attending a conference, confirm the room name and event hall listed on your ticket or confirmation so you can head straight to the right space on arrival.

Coordinating with friends or colleagues? Choose a clear meeting point, like the main entrance area or a specific exhibit hall, and share your plan in advance.
