About Hearnes Center

Hearnes Center is an indoor multi-purpose arena located within the University of Missouri athletic complex in Columbia, Missouri. Opened in 1972 and operated by the University of Missouri, it has also been known as Hearnes Fieldhouse and The Hearnes Center. The arena historically held approximately 13,000 fans in its basketball configuration, with capacity adjusted for current volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, concerts, and special-event setups.

For roughly three decades, Hearnes Center served as the primary home of Mizzou men's and women's basketball before Mizzou Arena opened in 2004. Today, it remains active as the home of Missouri Tigers Volleyball, Missouri Tigers Wrestling, and Missouri Tigers Gymnastics, while also hosting concerts, conventions, expos, career fairs, commencements, and large campus and community gatherings.

Named for former Missouri Governor Warren E. Hearnes, the arena is known for its large enclosed seating bowl and its lasting place in Missouri Tigers athletics.

Location & Transportation

Hearnes Center is located at 200 Mizzou Arena, Columbia, MO 65205 — on the University of Missouri campus within the athletic complex near Stadium Boulevard and Mizzou Arena.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby university lots serve Hearnes Center. Parking availability and pricing vary by event, and larger events can bring heavier traffic around campus and the surrounding Stadium Boulevard corridor.

Transit: Hearnes Center is served by campus and city Go COMO bus routes. Transit can be useful for guests already moving around the University of Missouri campus or Columbia, though driving is the primary option for many visitors.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at campus access points near the arena. After larger events, short waits are common as traffic moves out of the athletic complex.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available throughout Columbia, including options near campus, downtown, and along the I-70 and Stadium Boulevard corridors. Staying near campus or downtown can make the trip to Hearnes Center more convenient for evening events.

Venue Navigation

Hearnes Center uses a large enclosed arena-bowl layout, with seating arranged around the event floor. Understanding the bowl and concourse layout before arrival helps you move more efficiently from the entrance to your section, especially during larger athletics and campus events.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve the arena bowl from the surrounding campus concourse. Guests enter from the campus athletic complex and proceed through event access points before moving toward the seating areas.

Concourse Levels: The arena has lower and upper seating areas surrounding the floor. Seating configurations can change based on the event, including volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, concerts, and special events.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available as part of the university-operated facility. Guests attending with accessibility needs should review their ticket information and event guidance before arrival so they can plan the smoothest route into the arena.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests from the main concourse to their sections. Because the venue is a sizable indoor arena, knowing your section before arrival can help reduce extra walking once you are inside.

Dining Options

Inside Hearnes Center

Concession stands operate during events at Hearnes Center. Lines can build close to start time and during natural breaks in the action, so arriving early or visiting concessions before peak moments can help keep your visit moving smoothly.

Additional dining options are available along the Stadium Boulevard and Providence Road corridors, giving visitors multiple choices whether they are staying near campus, downtown, or along major Columbia routes.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and other items restricted under university event policy.

How Much Do Tickets to Hearnes Center Cost?

Hearnes 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 collegiate volleyball, wrestling, and gymnastics to concerts and special events.

For collegiate athletics, including Missouri Tigers volleyball, wrestling, and gymnastics, tickets are typically low-priced and often start around $10–$25, depending on the event and seat location.

For concerts and special events, prices vary widely by act and demand, often ranging from roughly $30 to $100 or more. Floor proximity, lower-level seating, and high-demand events can push prices higher.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for higher-demand events. As inventory narrows and event day gets closer, the best remaining seats can become more expensive, especially for popular concerts, major campus events, and high-interest matchups.

Hearnes Center Seating Guide

Hearnes Center has an enclosed arena bowl with lower and upper seating levels surrounding the floor, and the setup changes by event type. Volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, concerts, and special events can each use the floor and seating bowl differently, so comparing the seating map before buying is important.

Best Seats at Hearnes Center

• Best value: Upper-level seating typically offers the most affordable options while still keeping fans inside the arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl seating nearest the event floor puts you closest to the competition, performance, or event setup.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline or center sections generally provide the strongest sightlines to the floor, balancing proximity with a broad view of the action.
• General admission: Some events use general admission seating, giving guests more flexibility within the designated seating area for that event.

Getting Ready for Your Hearnes Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for larger events on the University of Missouri campus.

• 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 lots and surrounding traffic can fill before start time for larger events, so give yourself extra time to park, walk in, and clear security.
• Wear the right footwear. Hearnes Center is an indoor arena with stairs between seating levels and standard arena walking, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress for an indoor arena. Hearnes Center is climate-controlled, making it easier to plan for a comfortable indoor event experience.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Larger events can add traffic around campus and the athletic complex, so planning an early arrival helps reduce last-minute stress.
• Know your entrance. Your ticket information includes your section, and reviewing it before arrival can help you move more directly through a sizable arena.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
