Cajundome

The Cajundome is a 13,500-seat multi-purpose arena located in Lafayette, Louisiana, on the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus. It is home to the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's and women's basketball programs in addition to hosting various university events and commencement ceremonies including high school graduations.

The arena hosts many regional & national touring concerts (seating for concerts up to 13,500) and special events, such as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) events and the annual outdoor Cajun Heartland State Fair, an eleven-day state fair that attracts more than 50,000 guests. The arena also hosts the annual Jr. Beta Club Louisiana state conventions for middle and elementary school students and the Sr. Beta Conventions for high schoolers on occasion. The facility is a recognizable Lafayette landmark that was built by the State of Louisiana, partially funded by the City of Lafayette, and is owned by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and managed by the CAJUNDOME Commission.

Currently, the CAJUNDOME is the largest basketball arena in the Sun Belt Conference, the largest college basketball arena in Louisiana, the third largest overall indoor arena in Louisiana (behind the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City), one of the largest mid-major college basketball arenas, and in the top 10 largest college basketball arenas in the Deep South.

The arena underwent a $20 million renovation in 2016, providing seating, concession, and accessibility along with signage & branding updates to the venue.

The CAJUNDOME completed renovations in January 2020 on a former storage space to open The Table Room, an approximate 300 capacity venue available for pre-show early entry events and private event rentals. The all-ages venue consists of table seating, a small performance area and full bar service.

The Lafayette Roughnecks of the AF2 played at the CAJUNDOME in 2001.

The Lafayette Wildcatters of the Southern Indoor Football League played at the CAJUNDOME from 2009 to 2010.

The CAJUNDOME is home to the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball and Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball programs.
