About Summit Arena at The Monument

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.

Location & Transportation

Summit Arena at The Monument is located at 444 Mt. Rushmore Road N., Rapid City, SD 57701 — just south of downtown Rapid City on The Monument campus.

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.

Transit: Rapid City has limited public transit compared with larger metro areas. Rapid City Transit, including RapidRide service, serves portions of the city, but Summit Arena at The Monument is primarily a car-accessible venue.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in Rapid City, and rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at The Monument complex. Service volume is smaller than in major metros, so post-event waits can take longer after high-demand shows or games.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous hotels are located in and around downtown Rapid City and along the Mt. Rushmore Road and I-90 corridors. Staying downtown or near Mt. Rushmore Road keeps the trip to the venue short and straightforward.

Venue Navigation

Summit Arena at The Monument is part of a larger event campus, so understanding the arena’s layout before arrival helps you move from parking to entry, security, concessions, and your section more efficiently. The arena uses a modern bowl layout with concourses connected to the broader Monument facilities.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve Summit Arena as part of The Monument complex, with guest access from campus parking areas off Mt. Rushmore Road. Because the arena sits within a multi-venue campus, following Summit Arena signage and staff direction is the easiest way to reach the right entry point.

Concourse Levels: The arena features lower-level seating, upper seating areas, and suite and premium levels. Concourses connect the seating bowl with concessions, restrooms, premium spaces, and other Monument campus facilities.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests from the main concourse to seating sections. Staff assistance is available at entry, and allowing extra time before major events helps reduce stress during the busiest arrival window.

Getting Ready for Your Summit Arena at The Monument Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an arena within a larger event campus where parking, entry, and concourse traffic can build quickly.

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 concerts and games, give yourself extra time for parking and entry screening, since parking lots fill closer to event start.
Wear the right footwear. Summit Arena is a modern indoor arena with standard concourse walking and stairs to upper seating, so comfortable shoes make the visit easier.
Dress in layers. The arena interior is climate-controlled, but Rapid City’s seasonal weather can vary when walking to and from parking.
Build extra time into your transit plan. Most attendees arrive by car, and the busiest periods are close to event start, so a wider arrival window helps.
Know your entrance. Your ticket information and section details help you navigate Summit Arena within the larger Monument campus; a quick look before arriving saves time.
Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
