About Omaha Civic Auditorium Arena
The Omaha Civic Auditorium Arena was a landmark multi‑purpose venue in downtown Omaha from 1954 until its demolition in 2016. Though the arena no longer stands, the site’s history helps shape today’s Civic Square development, with major events historically drawing crowds to the city’s core. If you’re researching past performances or planning to explore where those memories began, we’ve got you covered with context on seating, access, and nearby places to stay and eat.
Key venues now hosting large events in Omaha include CHI Health Center Omaha and Baxter Arena, but for fans, the legacy of the Civic Auditorium lives on in local tourism and the nearby Downtown district. Secure your seats through trusted partners, and use this guide to navigate parking, transit history, and nearby accommodations when you visit the area for events or sightseeing.
