About Alliant Energy PowerHouse

Alliant Energy PowerHouse is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at 370 1st Avenue NE in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The venue opened in 1979 as Five Seasons Center, was renamed U.S. Cellular Center in 2013, and became Alliant Energy PowerHouse in 2021. It is owned by the City of Cedar Rapids and managed by ASM Global, with a capacity that varies by configuration — roughly 5,000 to 7,000 for hockey and up to about 10,000 for concerts.

The arena serves as the home ice of the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the USHL and hosts concerts across genres, comedy, family entertainment, interactive events such as Bingo Loco, and other touring attractions. It is also part of a larger downtown convention and entertainment complex that includes the adjoining DoubleTree hotel and convention center, making it a central destination for live events in the Cedar Rapids market.

Known locally as The PowerHouse, the venue offers a flexible arena bowl that supports hockey, seated concerts, floor configurations, and standing-room setups for select events.

Alliant Energy PowerHouse Seating Guide

Alliant Energy PowerHouse offers a flexible arena seating layout that changes by event type. Hockey games use the arena bowl around the ice, while concerts can add floor seating or standing-room areas in end-stage or in-the-round configurations.

Best Seats at Alliant Energy PowerHouse

• Best value: Upper-level and corner sections are typically the most affordable areas, giving fans a wider view of the arena at a lower entry price.
• Closest to the action: Floor seats for concerts and glass or lower-bowl seats for hockey put you nearest the performance, ice, or event activity.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level side sections offer strong sightlines for both hockey and concerts, balancing proximity with a clear view of the stage or court.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club seating are available for guests who want upgraded space, added comfort, and a more private event experience.
• For groups: Group packages can be arranged through the venue box office, and coordinating seats early helps when demand is high.

Getting Ready for Your Alliant Energy PowerHouse Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for popular downtown Cedar Rapids events where parking and entry lines can build before showtime.

• 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 arena 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. Give yourself extra time for downtown parking and security screening, especially for popular concerts.
• Wear the right footwear. Alliant Energy PowerHouse is a standard indoor arena with concourse stairs, so comfortable shoes are helpful for moving between entrances, seating areas, concessions, and restrooms.
• Dress in layers. Weather is not a factor inside the arena, but downtown parking can involve a short walk in Iowa winter conditions.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Popular concerts can create heavier downtown traffic and fuller parking areas, so leaving early gives you more options.
• Know your entrance. Your section helps route you to the correct concourse entrance for larger events, so reviewing it before arrival can save time once you are inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
