The Show Me Center was opened in 1987 and is jointly owned by the city of Cape Girardeau and the University.  This 117,000 square foot multipurpose facility seats over 7000 people and is used for a variety of activities, such as athletic events, conventions, commencement ceremonies, stage shows, and concerts.  Southeast students receive free admission to all Southeast athletic events held in this facility, and a discounted rate for all other activities with presentation of their student ID. 

Events or meetings too small to be held in the arena are hosted in the Show Me Center’s three meeting rooms or in the surrounding concourse areas.  Some of these programs include banquets, press conferences, seminars and teleconferences.
