Pioneer Cellular Event Center

The Pioneer Event Center is a 93,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility in Weatherford, Oklahoma, home to Southwestern Oklahoma State University's Bulldog basketball and volleyball teams and a regular host of community events. The facility was built through a partnership between the City of Weatherford, SWOSU, and its students, breaking ground in December 2011 and opening in January 2014; it was renamed the Pioneer Cellular Event Center after Pioneer Cellular secured naming rights that August. At the center of the building, the Arena seats over 3,500 and can be reconfigured with fewer seats to open up floor space for conventions and expos, giving it the flexibility to host everything from Bulldog home games and concerts to trade shows and banquets. The Arena comes with state-of-the-art sound and staging capabilities, full catering services, and a trained staff on hand to help plan an event. For smaller gatherings, the Skyview Suite offers a VIP-style setting overlooking both the football field and the arena, suited to conventions, wedding receptions, and birthday parties, while two Break-Out Rooms in the lobby can be sectioned off and paired with A/V services on request.
