Objective The Adams Center is Western Montana's gateway to quality entertainment in a first-class facility. The area demographics, the area’s receptibility to a variety of music styles, and the success of past shows in the Adams Center assure potential success for any performance.
Demographics The Adams Center is located in Missoula, Montana, home for 68,394 city residents, 110,977 Missoula County residents, and roughly 15,000 students enrolled at the University of Montana, the state’s flagship university1. The Adams Center is Missoula’s largest indoor venue and regularly hosts a variety of concerts, circuses, trade & flat shows, athletic & community events, and houses UM Grizzly Athletics. Near Interstate-90 and neighboring the Clark Fork River, the Adams Center is easily accessible and a gorgeous visit for concert goers (some as far away as Oregon, Texas, New York, even Europe). Missoula’s many fine hotels, restaurants, museums, sister-venues, and the great-outdoors aid the Adams Center in welcoming and entertaining visitors. Neighboring counties rely on the Adams Center’s varied entertainment options and big-name performers. 40,617 residents call Ravali County, to the South and roughly an hour from Missoula’s city center, home. Flathead County to the North, and roughly two hours from Missoula, has 91,633 residents. Lake, Sanders, Mineral, Granite, and Powell Counties have 28,986, 11,408, 4,167, 3,109, and 7,096 residents respectively1. With a combined population total of 297,993, approximately 30% of Montana’s state population, Missoula and adjacent counties offer area venues, especially the Adams Center, a varied event-attending demographic.

Facility Technical Specifications The Adams Center accommodates an audience of up to 7,000 for a 360° concert or can go as small as 2,000 for a Half-House Set; specific capacity sizes vary depending upon stage size, front-of-house size, sightlines, show/event needs, and general manifest design. On average, Adams Center concert capacities range between 4,000 and 5,000 seats.
1. Floor Space a. 148 feet from front to back b. 96.5 feet from side to side c. 14,270 square feet with bleachers in a closed position d. 60 feet from floor to rigging grid
2. Load In
a. There is no loading dock so truck ramps are required. From the ground level load-in entrance of the building, equipment must be brought down an interior ramp / tunnel that drops 16 vertical feet down to the venue floor level.
b. We recommend that traveling shows consider boosting their stagehand requirements to accommodate this ramp as it measures 76' long x 13' feet wide. A forklift is necessary. The Adams Center can provide a forklift and operator.
3. Staging
-

5. Tour Parking a. A paved surface fenced lot in front of the load-in door with room for two semis or touring
buses to park one in front of the other. b. A gravel lot next to the fenced lot that can accommodate approximately 6 touring buses or
trucks
6. Rigging a. Safe Working Load: 2200 lbs. Per ten feet of steel with bridled points not exceeding 90
degrees at the bridle leg junctions. b. Adams Center currently has a 60 by 80 feet rigging grid with 60 feet over the working stage
area. The grid consists of 8 and 10 inch square tubing at 10-foot intervals forming 10-foot squares. (The grid is attached to wooden arches that support the roof by steel rods. The rods are attached to brackets lagged into wooden arches.)
7. Sound
a. An EV/QSC based house sound system has 7 speakers flying below the level of the steel. b. The vertical height of a wire rope basket, shackles and chain motor housing will clear both
the trusses and speakers. c. The house speakers are available for tie into for upper seat coverage. (Information on the
house system is available upon request.)
