About Adams Event Center

Adams Event Center is the University of Montana’s large indoor event complex at 32 Campus Drive in Missoula, Montana. The venue traces its history to 1953, when it opened as the Harry Adams Field House, and it was extensively renovated and expanded before reopening as the Adams Center in 1999. The complex includes Dahlberg Arena, the arena bowl within the facility, with a capacity of approximately 7,500 for basketball and roughly 9,000 or more for concerts and larger configurations.

The venue is a central hub for University of Montana athletics and campus life. It serves as the home court for Montana Grizzlies men’s basketball and Montana Grizzlies women’s basketball, both NCAA Division I programs in the Big Sky Conference. Beyond basketball, Adams Event Center hosts touring concerts across multiple genres, comedy, family shows, exhibitions, community events, university commencement ceremonies, and other major campus gatherings.

Its distinctive character comes from the combination of the historic field house, modern arena spaces, practice areas, and event facilities. Dahlberg Arena is regarded as one of the toughest home environments in the Big Sky Conference, with a loud, close-in bowl that gives Grizzlies basketball a strong home-court feel.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby lots serve the venue, and campus parking lots can fill before major events.

How Much Do Tickets to Adams Event Center Cost?

Adams Event Center 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 Grizzlies basketball to high-demand touring concerts.

For Montana Grizzlies men’s and women’s basketball, tickets are generally around $10 to $40 depending on seat location and opponent. Marquee matchups, conference games, and stronger lower-bowl locations can drive higher demand.

For concerts and touring shows, tickets are commonly around $30 to $100 or more depending on the artist, seat location, and overall demand. Floor seating, closer lower-bowl sections, and high-demand performances typically price above upper-bowl or end-section seats.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for high-demand concerts and premier basketball games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for marquee artists and major matchups.

Adams Event Center Seating Guide

Adams Event Center seating varies by event, with Dahlberg Arena set as a lower-and-upper bowl for basketball and reconfigured with floor seating or general admission areas for some concerts. Reviewing the layout before buying helps you compare proximity, sightlines, price, and the overall event experience.

Best Seats at Adams Event Center

• Best value: Upper-bowl and end sections are typically the most affordable areas. These seats can be a strong fit for fans who want the live atmosphere of a Grizzlies game or concert while keeping the ticket price lower.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl rows put basketball fans closest to the court. For concerts, floor seating is the closest option when that configuration is used.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sideline and center sections offer the strongest overall basketball views, balancing closeness with a clear angle to the court. For concerts, sections facing the stage front generally provide the best sightlines.
• For groups: Group seating is accommodated for university events, and coordinating seats early is helpful for high-demand games, concerts, and campus events.
• General admission: General admission is offered for some concert configurations, giving fans festival-style flexibility when the event setup includes a GA area.

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?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy.

Getting Ready for Your Adams Event Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a University of Montana campus venue where parking lots and gate lines can get busy before major events.

• 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. Campus parking lots fill and gate lines build before major events, so give yourself extra time before tipoff, showtime, or the start of a large ceremony.
• Wear the right footwear. Adams Event Center is an indoor arena with standard stair access to upper seating, and the broader complex involves some walking from parking areas. Comfortable shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but Missoula’s seasonal outdoor conditions matter when walking to and from parking, especially during cold winter basketball season.
• Know your entrance. Your gate information helps at larger events, and the main Ticket Office is on the west side of the Adams Center with assistance stations at each gate.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
