NMSU Pan American Center / Special Events

Welcome to New Mexico State University's Pan American Center! The largest sports & live entertainment venue in Southern New Mexico.

The Pan American Center, built in 1968 and renovated in 2006-07, is one of the finest arenas in the American Southwest. Seating 13,140, the Pan Am hosts athletic events, including Aggie basketball and volleyball, as well as some of the top entertainers in America. The renovation and expansion project added an annex building to the south end of the arena that features offices, practice facilities

and locker rooms, and a conference room named for former Special Events director and community icon Barbara “Mother” Hubbard. The Pan American Center is located just west of its namesake, the Pan American Highway (Interstate 25), and sits immediately to the north of Aggie Memorial Stadium.
