Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my own food and beverages to the arena?

The SugArena has a concession stand with food and beverages available, including alcoholic beverages at most events.  The Acadiana Fairgrounds Commission uses the proceeds on concessions to help operate the facility.  This additional income helps keep the costs to users down.  Only if the concession stand is not open or with special permission are you allowed to bring in your own food and beverages.

How do I rent the SugArena for an event?

The SugArena is available for hourly rental to daily rental at various rates.  Please contact the SugArena office for more information as to rates and available dates.  Additionally, there are camper/trailer spots with electrical hookup available for a nominal fee per day.

Can I rent stalls for an upcoming event?

Yes. We do rent our stalls on a daily basis for a nominal fee.  The daily rental comes with a bag of shavings . Please contact our office if you would like to reserve a stall.
