Ford Wyoming Center
The Ford Wyoming Center is Casper’s premier venue for concerts, performances, sporting events, rodeos and large-scale gatherings.
Perched on the hill overlooking the city with sweeping views of Casper Mountain, this multi-purpose facility is one of Wyoming’s most versatile and iconic event spaces.
Since opening in 1982, the Ford Wyoming Center has hosted everything from the College National Finals Rodeo and state high school championships to chart-topping musical artists, nationally touring shows, Broadway performances and community celebrations. Its design allows the arena to transform seamlessly—from a full-house concert setup to a rodeo arena, basketball court, or convention hall.
The arena’s horseshoe shape and retractable seating offer extensive flat floor space, making it ideal for trade shows, expos, banquets and large meetings. Additional breakout rooms and flexible staging areas provide options for smaller gatherings or VIP spaces.
