About Metrapark Grandstands

Metrapark Grandstands, part of the First Interstate Arena at MetraPark complex in Billings, Montana, is a premier multi-purpose indoor arena known for concerts, sports, rodeos, and large-scale events. The historic outdoor Grandstands were demolished in 2020 and replaced with a new outdoor arena to continue the tradition of outdoor entertainment. The venue is adjacent to a robust network of parking, transit options, and nearby hotels, making it easy to plan a hassle-free visit for fans and families alike.

Located at 308 6th Avenue North, Billings, MT 59101, MetraPark’s indoor arena hosts events with seating flexibility, basketball, hockey, and rodeo configurations. The complex has undergone name changes over the years (METRA Park Arena, Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark, and now First Interstate Arena at MetraPark), but the mission remains simple: provide reliable, straightforward ticket access and a great event experience.

Seating & venue layout: The indoor arena seating aligns with the First Interstate Arena maps.

Premium seating is available in designated sections, and the arena’s design focuses on comfort, accessibility, and easy ingress/egress.

Parking: A Premium Lot is located north of the arena across the Bench Connector, with a pedestrian tunnel connecting to the venue. In addition, multiple public lots around MetraPark offer ample spaces, varying by event size.
