Ector County Coliseum

Ector County Coliseum is a large, multi-purpose venue complex in Odessa, Texas, available for organisers planning public, community and commercial events. Its facilities include an arena seating up to 8,000 people and more than 145,000 square feet of exhibition space across a 42-acre site. The range of spaces makes the complex suitable for events of different sizes and formats, from arena performances to exhibitions and trade shows.

Organisers can consider the venue for concerts, rodeos, sporting events, conventions, fairs, markets and other community gatherings. Its established programme includes activities such as hockey, livestock and rodeo events, motorsport shows, vendor markets and industry exhibitions. This breadth gives planners a location accustomed to accommodating both audience-led entertainment and events with exhibitors or vendors.

The Coliseum’s venue booking team provides an enquiry route for organisers to discuss a proposed event and the available facilities. The complex is positioned in the Permian Basin at the junction of major highways, with more than 2,000 hotel rooms located within a short drive. On-site concessions offer food and beverages during events, and free parking is available for most occasions, with arrangements varying by event.

Whether planning a large exhibition, a ticketed arena show, a rodeo or a local gathering, organisers can contact the Coliseum to explore the space and practical details for their event. Its combination of substantial arena seating and extensive exhibit area makes it a prominent event venue serving Odessa and the wider West Texas region.
