About Simmons Bank Arena

Simmons Bank Arena opened in 1999 as Alltel Arena, became Verizon Arena in 2009, and took its current name in 2019. Located at 1 Verizon Arena Way in North Little Rock, Arkansas, it is owned by Pulaski County and operates as a major multi-purpose arena for the Little Rock metro. Capacity is approximately 18,000 for concerts and events, with smaller configurations used when the setup calls for a reduced house.

The arena is known as the largest indoor venue in Arkansas and the premier regional setting for major touring concerts and arena-scale entertainment. Its event calendar spans concerts across multiple genres, comedy, basketball, family shows, live tours such as Dancing with the Stars Live, and private or meeting functions. The building has also hosted major touring acts throughout its history, with upcoming listings including Def Leppard with Goo Goo Dolls.

Simmons Bank Arena is part of a riverfront entertainment district linking North Little Rock and Little Rock, with roughly 28,000 square feet of flexible meeting and arena floor space plus private meeting rooms.

Location & Transportation

Simmons Bank Arena is located at 1 Verizon Arena Way, North Little Rock, AR 72114 — along the Arkansas River in North Little Rock, directly across from downtown Little Rock.

Driving and Parking: On-site and adjacent surface parking are available around the arena, and the riverfront location is accessible from Interstate highways serving the Little Rock and North Little Rock area. For major concerts and sold-out events, lots and surrounding roads fill before start time, so arriving early is the most practical approach.

Transit: Simmons Bank Arena is served by regional Rock Region METRO bus service. Transit can be useful for some attendees, but driving is the primary transportation option for most events at the arena.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available for Simmons Bank Arena events. After sold-out shows, expect congestion and longer wait times as the arena empties and vehicles move through the riverfront area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in North Little Rock near the riverfront and Argenta district, as well as across the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock. Both areas offer convenient access within a short drive.

Venue Navigation

Simmons Bank Arena uses a standard indoor arena layout, with guests entering at concourse level and moving to lower-bowl, upper-bowl, suite, and club seating areas. Understanding the bowl layout before arrival helps you choose the best entry point, locate your section faster, and settle in before showtime.

Entrances and Access: Main public entrances serve the arena concourse. Guests enter at concourse level, pass through ticketing and security, and continue to their assigned seating area from inside the building.

Concourse Levels: The arena includes a lower bowl and upper bowl served by concourses, along with suite and club-level areas. Floor configurations are used for concerts and select events, with seating and standing-room layouts varying by production.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating, parking, and services are available consistent with a modern multi-purpose arena.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and arena staff help direct guests from the concourse to their sections. Arriving early gives you time to move through security, find your seating area, and navigate stairs or concourse traffic before the event begins.

Dining Options

Inside Simmons Bank Arena

Outside the Venue — Argenta Arts District and Downtown Little Rock

The Argenta Arts District in North Little Rock offers nearby restaurants and bars close to the arena. Additional dining is available across the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock, giving attendees options before or after concerts, comedy shows, live tours, and other events.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and similar prohibited articles. Event-specific restrictions can apply based on the production or promoter.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once a guest has exited the arena. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown with event information.

How Much Do Tickets to Simmons Bank Arena Cost?

Simmons Bank Arena ticket prices vary widely 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 live tours to high-demand headliner concerts.

Family shows and live tours at Simmons Bank Arena can start around $25 and commonly range up to about $75, depending on the production, seat location, and performance date.

Mid-tier reserved concerts typically range from about $40 to $125. Upper-level seats are usually the more affordable option, while lower-bowl and floor locations cost more because they place fans closer to the stage.

High-demand headliner concerts can run from approximately $75 to $250 or more. Popular artists, weekend dates, floor seating, and lower-bowl sections can push prices higher as inventory tightens.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for high-demand shows. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Simmons Bank Arena Seating Guide

Simmons Bank Arena uses a flexible bowl configuration with lower-level and upper-level seating, suite and club areas, and event-specific floor setups for concerts and select events. Because the layout can change between concerts, basketball, family shows, and live tours, reviewing the seating map before buying helps you match your seats to the experience you want.

Best Seats at Simmons Bank Arena

• Best value: Upper-level sections are typically the most affordable areas at Simmons Bank Arena. They work well for fans who want to be in the building for a major concert, comedy show, family event, or live tour while keeping the ticket price lower.
• Closest to the action: Floor seating for concerts and lower-bowl sections nearest the stage or court offer the most direct proximity. These seats are popular for fans who want maximum energy and a close-up view of the performance or event.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sections along the sides offer a strong balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere for most events. These areas often provide a clear view of the stage or court while keeping guests connected to the full arena environment.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club-level areas serve premium guests and groups with elevated food service and a more private event experience.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early helps groups stay together, especially for high-demand concerts, live tours, and sold-out arena events.
• General admission: Some concerts may use a general-admission floor configuration, giving fans a more flexible festival-style setup on the arena floor.

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.

Getting Ready for Your Simmons Bank Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a riverfront arena where parking areas, entrances, and surrounding roads get busy before major shows.

• 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. For major shows, parking lots and surrounding roads fill before start time, so give yourself extra time for driving, parking, security, and finding your section.
• Wear the right footwear. Simmons Bank Arena is a standard indoor arena with stairs between seating levels, and you should expect walking between parking, entrances, and sections. Comfortable shoes make the full visit easier.
• Dress for the walk in. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but weather can affect the walk from parking and the riverfront approach.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Traffic, parking, and post-work arrival patterns can slow the area before popular concerts and sold-out events.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your section and nearest entrance before you arrive helps speed entry and makes it easier to move through the concourse once inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
