The Denny Sanford PREMIER Center is more than an arena — it's a dynamic centerpiece for live entertainment that anchors Sioux Falls’ thriving event scene. From sold-out tours to championship action on the ice, Denny Sanford Premier Center events ignite the city with energy and big-time production values.

Opened on September 19, 2014, this multi-purpose venue seats up to 12,000 for concerts and adapts seamlessly for hockey, basketball, PBR, and family shows.

The center has welcomed icons like Elton John, Pink, Metallica, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Cher, Jason Aldean, and Blake Shelton, while also hosting NCAA tournaments and recurring PBR events.

Technology takes center stage with a state-of-the-art sound system, high-definition video boards, and advanced lighting that elevate every performance and game.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Denny Sanford PREMIER Center offers seating for approximately 12,000 guests, with flexible configurations for end-stage, center-stage, and in-the-round events plus reserved or general admission layouts depending on the show. The bowl is organized into 100-level lower sections, 200-level upper sections, and premium suites and clubs.

Lower Bowl Center (Sections 104–106): These are widely considered among the best seats for concerts and hockey, offering optimal, straight-on views and quick access to amenities. For many events, these sections deliver the perfect balance of proximity and perspective.
Lower Bowl Corners and Ends (100s): Great for value and atmosphere—especially for hockey—these seats place you close to the action without the premium price tag of center ice or center stage.
Upper Bowl Sidelines (200s): Ideal for budget-minded fans, the upper sidelines provide a clean, elevated view of the entire stage or playing surface. Rows typically range 1–15 depending on the section.
Club Seating: Enjoy wider, cushier seats and access to premium lounges and concessions. Club locations are excellent for fans who want a more comfortable, upscale in-arena experience.
Suites and Party Decks: Perfect for groups, celebrations, or corporate hosting, suites combine privacy with a great vantage point and dedicated services.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Denny Sanford PREMIER Center

1201 N West Avenue

Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57104

Situated within Sioux Falls city limits and near downtown, the PREMIER Center is easy to reach and part of a larger complex with the Sioux Falls Convention Center and Sioux Falls Arena.

Parking: On-site surface lots are available with typical event parking fees ranging from $5–$10. Additional parking is offered at the adjacent convention center and arena lots—arrive early for best spaces.
Public Transit: Sioux Area Metro (SAM) bus routes serve the area, though service may be limited during late-night events.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and drop-off zones are available near the main entrance for smooth arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the event to breeze through security, find parking, and settle into your seats without rushing. Early arrival also means shorter lines at concessions and merch stands, and time to get oriented around the connected complex.

While events are indoors, South Dakota winters can impact travel and parking conditions. If there’s snow or ice in the forecast, give yourself extra time and dress warmly for the walk from the lots. Conversely, on busy concert nights, arriving on the early side helps you secure a prime spot and avoid congestion.

If you’re using public transit, check Sioux Area Metro schedules ahead of time—late-night service may be limited. For rideshare, use the designated pickup zones to streamline your drop-off and meet-up after the show.

Venue Navigation

The PREMIER Center’s layout is straightforward and fan-friendly. The arena connects directly to the Sioux Falls Convention Center and Sioux Falls Arena, which means extra space for pre- and post-event activities when multiple happenings are underway. Elevators and ramps make it easy to access all levels, including club seating and suites.

You’ll find a variety of concessions throughout the concourses—pizza, burgers, hot dogs, nachos, specialty kiosks, and more—alongside local craft beers and specialty cocktails. Merchandise stands (both permanent and pop-up) make it simple to grab team gear or tour shirts, and family restrooms and ATMs are available. Charging stations are on site if you need a quick power-up between sets or periods.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Clear bags up to 12"x6"x12" are allowed; small clutches up to 4.5"x6.5" are permitted. Backpacks and large bags are prohibited.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, laser pointers, noisemakers, selfie sticks, and large umbrellas.
Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
Service Animals: Only ADA-defined service animals are permitted.

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 weather is wintery, plan for extra travel time and wear appropriate footwear for walking from the parking lots.
Using rideshare? Set your post-show meet-up at the designated pickup zone by the main entrance to avoid delays.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by arriving early to explore the complex and grab a bite before the show. If you’re planning ahead for multiple Denny Sanford Premier Center upcoming events, consider comparing different sections with the Denny Sanford Premier Center seating chart so you can tailor your view to the type of event—ice-level excitement for hockey or a centered, direct sightline for concerts.

Looking to capture a memorable moment? Head to nearby Falls Park before sunset for scenic photos of the Big Sioux River’s cascading falls, then return for your event. For groups, pick a clear meeting point—such as the main entrance or a specific section marker—so everyone links up easily, even when the concourses are buzzing.

If you’re coordinating with friends across town, share your seats via the interactive seating chart ahead of time and agree on a rideshare drop-off window. A little planning goes a long way toward a stress-free arrival and an unforgettable night.

Accessibility

Denny Sanford PREMIER Center is ADA-accessible, with on-site ADA parking near the entrances, accessible seating options throughout the arena at various price levels, and companion seating available. Elevators and ramps provide access to all seating levels, and assistive listening devices are available at guest services for guests who need them.

For major events, mobility shuttles (golf carts) may operate between parking lots and entrances to reduce walking distances. For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving pizza, burgers, hot dogs, nachos, and more, along with specialty kiosks highlighting regional favorites. Local craft beers and specialty cocktails are available at stands throughout the concourse, making it easy to refuel between sets or periods.

Concessions are designed for speed and convenience, so you can grab what you need and get back to the action without missing a beat. Merchandise stands often sit nearby, perfect for a quick stop on the way to your seat.
