About Extraco Events Center
Welcome to Extraco Events Center in Waco, Texas—an expansive, multi-facility campus hosting arenas, livestock and equine events, and flexible meeting spaces. With a rich history dating back to its renaming in 2010 (previously Heart O' Texas Fair Complex), the venue now offers three distinct spaces under one roof: the Extraco Coliseum (indoor arena), the Extraco Show Pavilion (livestock/equine venue), and BASE at Extraco Events Center (conference and meeting space). Whether you’re attending a major concert, rodeo, trade show, or family event, we’ve got you covered with clear seating options, ample parking, easy access by car, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to make your trip simple and enjoyable.
Parking is on-site with multiple access points from Bosque Blvd and Lake Air Dr, and recent expansions have increased available spaces. For events, seating configurations vary by venue: the Coliseum seats up to 9,000 for arena-style events (roughly 6,000 for rodeo seating), the Show Pavilion features bleacher seating for spectators, and BASE can accommodate 3,000+ attendees for conferences and larger gatherings. Major events have included the Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo, Ringling Bros. Circus, WWE Raw, and seasonal attractions like North Pole Palooza. While transit details focus on car travel, the campus is designed for convenient self-parking and efficient entry. Dive in to learn about seating specifics, parking layout, and nearby partner hotels and restaurants to secure your seats and plan your visit with confidence.
