The arena has three spectator levels: one suite level and two general seating levels named the 100 level and the 200 level. Its official maximum capacity is 10,000.

Owned and operated by the City of Sioux City, it is located on the riverfront overlooking the Missouri River.

It is home to the Sioux City Musketeers of the United States Hockey League (USHL), the Sioux City Bandits of Champions Indoor Football (CIF) and starting in 2016, will be the home of the Sioux City Hornets of the Midwest Basketball League (MBL).

This arena also hosts many college tournaments associated with the NAIA, including the NAIA Wrestling National Tournament, NAIA Woman's Volleyball National Tournament, and the Division II NAIA Woman's National Basketball Tournament, which was won back-to-back in 2004 and 2005 by Sioux City's Morningside College Mustangs.
