About Grossinger Motors Arena

The venue opened in 2006 as U.S. Cellular Coliseum and was renamed Grossinger Motors Arena in 2016. It is owned by the City of Bloomington and managed by VenuWorks, with capacity varying by event setup: approximately 7,000 for concerts and events, and around 5,600–6,000 for hockey or seated configurations.

The arena serves as a primary mid-sized entertainment and sporting venue for the Bloomington-Normal Twin Cities region.

How Much Do Tickets to Grossinger Motors Arena Cost?

Grossinger Motors Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from family shows and sporting events to high-demand concert headliners.

For mid-tier and touring concerts, tickets are often approximately $35–$85, with pricing influenced by the artist, seating level, and distance from the stage. Floor seats and lower-level sections closer to the stage typically cost more than upper-level seating.

For high-demand concert headliners, tickets can reach $100 or more, especially when demand is strong and the best remaining sections are limited.

For family shows and sporting events, tickets are often approximately $20–$60, with upper-level seats usually offering lower entry prices and lower-level seats closer to the floor or court carrying higher demand.

For in-demand events, buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing options. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Grossinger Motors Arena Seating Guide

Grossinger Motors Arena offers a flexible arena seating layout that changes by event type, with a lower bowl, upper level, and floor seating added for concerts and floor-configured events. Because the venue can shift between ice, court, and concert setups, reviewing the seating map before buying helps you choose the right balance of proximity, view, and price.

Best Seats at Grossinger Motors Arena

• Best value: Upper-level seating typically offers the most affordable options while still keeping you inside the arena bowl for the full event atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Floor seats and front lower-bowl rows put you closest to the stage or court, making them popular for concerts and sporting events.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level seating along the sides provides strong overall sightlines for most events, balancing proximity with a clear view of the floor setup.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and premium/club seating are available for fans who want elevated service, added comfort, or a more private experience.
• For groups: Groups can be accommodated through the box office, and coordinating seats early is helpful for popular events where contiguous inventory can move quickly.
• General admission: Some concerts offer general-admission floor configurations, giving fans a more flexible floor experience when that setup is used.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Getting Ready for Your Grossinger Motors Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown arena where parking, entry screening, and event crowds can all affect arrival time.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arriving early is advised for larger events to allow time for downtown parking and entry screening.
• Wear the right footwear. Grossinger Motors Arena is a standard indoor arena with concourse walking and stairs between seating levels, so comfortable shoes are useful for moving around the venue.
• Plan for weather outside. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but weather still matters for travel to and from the downtown location.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
