Located in the heart of Northern Indiana's rural Amish country, the Michiana Event Center (The MEC) is a massive, 150,000 square foot complex bringing arena level entertainment to a quiet setting. Its centerpiece is a 6,000 seat, climate controlled Coliseum built with a versatile floor that seamlessly transitions from professional rodeos to major concert tours. The complex also features a colossal 100,000 square foot exhibit hall and a state of the art equestrian staging barn, allowing it to host everything from massive RV shows to local Amish furniture expos.
