Summit Arena at The Monument opened in 2021 as a new addition to The Monument complex, formerly known as the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, which dates to the late 1970s. The venue is owned by the City of Rapid City and operated by the City through The Monument. Located at 444 Mt. Rushmore Road N. in Rapid City, South Dakota, the arena holds approximately 10,000+ for concerts and around 7,000–8,000 for hockey and other sporting configurations.
The arena hosts a broad event mix that includes Rapid City Rush hockey, Rapid City Marshals indoor football, touring concerts across genres, family shows, comedy, rodeo and motorsports-adjacent events, and community programming. As the home ice of the Rapid City Rush of the ECHL and the home venue for the Rapid City Marshals, it gives Rapid City a modern indoor setting for both sports and entertainment.
Summit Arena broadened The Monument campus by adding a modern arena bowl beside the existing Barnett Arena, theater, and ice arena, creating a multi-space event destination under one umbrella.

Driving and Parking: Most attendees arrive by car. On-site and adjacent parking is available at The Monument campus, with parking lots serving the complex directly. The venue sits near Mt. Rushmore Road and is easily reached from downtown Rapid City and nearby highways. For major concerts and games, arriving early helps with parking, since lots fill closer to event start.
