About Smith Multi-Purpose Center

Welcome to the Smith Multi-Purpose Center, part of the Merrill Area Recreation Complex (MARC) in Merrill, Wisconsin. The venue hosts a diverse range of events—from community gatherings and youth hockey to convention-style use in the 17,000 sq ft space during non-ice months. Seating for events is configurable per event, and on-site parking is typically ample. Whether you’re planning a trip for a game, expo, or a city event, we’ve got you covered with practical details to secure your seats and make connections for nearby stays and meals.

Note: The Smith Center Arena does not publish a public seating chart and capacity details vary by event. For those planning after-hours meals or overnight stays, nearby hotels and trusted dining options can help make your visit smoother.

Smith Multi-Purpose Center is a core component of MARC, alongside the indoor ice arena. In the off-season, the venue converts to a large convention area spanning thousands of square feet to host non-ice events. Local transit is available via the Merrill-Go-Round, with service typically 7am–5pm on weekdays; rides should be scheduled in advance. Parking on-site is generally plentiful, simplifying arrival and access to the arena and adjacent facilities. Notable events include the Lincoln Lager Barleyfest and Merrill Youth Hockey games, reflecting the community-focused nature of the space.
