event center

Large assembly hall

An event center is a large venue designed to host gatherings—concerts, conventions, sports, trade shows, weddings.

The term is flexible, covering everything from municipal arenas to hotel ballrooms to purpose-built exhibition halls.

Unlike a stadium, an event center typically has indoor, multipurpose space: The city's new event center can seat twelve thousand for basketball or host a wedding expo the next day.
