About Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre

Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre is a historic multi-purpose auditorium located at 175 West Kellogg Blvd in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota. Built in 1931–1932 as part of the original St. Paul Auditorium complex, it is now part of the Saint Paul RiverCentre complex, which includes more than 250,000 square feet of flexible event space. The venue is owned by the City of Saint Paul and operated as part of the RiverCentre complex, with a capacity of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 depending on event configuration.

The auditorium was later renamed for Roy Wilkins, the civil rights leader and longtime NAACP executive director who grew up in St. Paul. Its design is also tied to Clarence W. Wigington, the renowned African American municipal architect associated with the Depression-era St. Paul Auditorium complex. That history gives the venue a distinct civic identity within downtown Saint Paul.

Today, Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre hosts concerts across genres, professional wrestling, roller derby, comedy, conventions and trade shows, graduations, community and civic events, and family shows. Its flat-floor setup allows the room to shift between seated concerts, standing-room shows, sports-style events, and convention uses, making the auditorium one of the more adaptable spaces in the RiverCentre complex.

Location & Transportation

Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre is located at 175 West Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55102 — in downtown Saint Paul near Xcel Energy Center and within the larger Saint Paul RiverCentre complex.

Transit: Transit is a practical way to reach the venue. The METRO Green Line light rail serves downtown Saint Paul, with Central Station among the nearby stations, and numerous Metro Transit bus routes serve the downtown core. For many visitors, light rail or bus service can reduce the need to navigate event-night parking around RiverCentre and Xcel Energy Center.

Driving and Parking: Drivers can access the venue from West Kellogg Blvd, with RiverCentre parking ramps, downtown garages, and surface lots nearby. On event nights, the ramps serving RiverCentre and Xcel Energy Center can fill as showtime approaches, especially when multiple downtown events overlap, so arriving early gives you more parking choices and a smoother walk to the entrance.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are readily available in downtown Saint Paul. After larger events, expect brief congestion near the RiverCentre area, particularly if an Xcel Energy Center event is ending around the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Several downtown Saint Paul hotels are within walking distance of RiverCentre, including properties near the venue complex and throughout the downtown core. Staying downtown keeps the post-event trip simple and helps minimize driving after the show.

Venue Navigation

Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre is part of a larger connected convention center campus, so understanding the RiverCentre layout before arriving can make entry and wayfinding easier. The auditorium itself uses a flexible flat-floor configuration with surrounding fixed seating that changes by event type.

Entrances and Access: Main access is through the Saint Paul RiverCentre complex on West Kellogg Blvd. Because the auditorium is connected to broader convention center facilities, guests may move through shared RiverCentre areas before reaching the performance or event space. The RiverCentre complex is also skyway-connected to downtown Saint Paul.

Seating Levels: The venue is organized around a flat-floor auditorium layout. Depending on the event, the floor may be arranged with reserved seating, general admission standing room, or open floor space for conventions and trade shows, with surrounding fixed and upper seating used for concerts, sporting events, and other auditorium-style setups.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available through the RiverCentre complex. Guests who need accessible seating should use the available seating filters and event listing details while selecting tickets so the order matches their needs for the event.

How Much Do Tickets to Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre Cost?

Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or act, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from family shows to high-demand concert headliners.

For concerts and smaller shows, tickets can start around $30 and often range up to about $80 depending on the act, seat location, and available inventory. Floor positions and closer fixed seats typically cost more than upper or farther sections.

For high-demand headliners, tickets can be $80 or more, especially when demand is strong for floor access, center floor seats, or lower fixed seating near the stage. Sell-through and day-of-week demand can also influence pricing as the event approaches.

For wrestling, roller derby, and family shows, tickets are often in the approximately $20 to $60 range. Seat location still matters, with closer views and preferred sections generally priced higher than farther fixed seating.

For high-demand events, buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for popular concerts and weekend events.

Getting Ready for Your Roy Wilkins Auditorium At Rivercentre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown venue connected to the larger RiverCentre complex.

• 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. Arrive early on event nights, particularly when a concurrent Xcel Energy Center event adds downtown traffic and fills nearby ramps.
• Wear the right footwear. The venue has a flat-floor setup, and standing-room floor events may involve extended standing, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. The venue is indoors, but dressing for downtown walking between parking or transit and the entrance is important, especially during Minnesota winters.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown Saint Paul can be busier when multiple events are taking place near RiverCentre and Xcel Energy Center, so give yourself added time for parking, walking, and entry.
• Know your entrance. The auditorium is part of a larger connected facility, and checking your event and ticket details before arriving can help you move through the RiverCentre complex more efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
