Spokane Arena

Spokane, Washington, United States

Spokane Arena concert venue in Spokane, Washington

Why it matters

Spokane Arena opened in 1995 and remains the inland Northwest’s main large indoor venue. It serves a huge regional audience that would otherwise travel to Seattle or Portland, and its position beside Riverfront Park keeps the arena connected to central Spokane.

Getting there

Spokane Arena is just north of downtown and Riverfront Park, making it easy to park in the city center and walk. Arena-side parking is available, but a downtown garage can keep you out of the tightest post-show traffic.

Bag policy

Check the specific Spokane Arena event page—not an old social post—for the active bag rule. Bring only essentials unless the venue explicitly allows a larger or clear bag for that performance.

Local tips

Downtown and Riverfront Park are close enough to walk, so use the city center for dinner rather than treating this like an isolated arena. Parking is available around the venue, but a downtown garage can make the post-show exit less congested.
