Meeting Venues in the Greater Merrimack Valley

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium plays a starring role in the region's cultural and entertainment scene. The 3000-seat auditorium is where boxing greats Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Rocky Marciano won their first Golden Gloves championships. Jay Leno, B.B. King, David Copperfield, Bruce Springsteen and the internationally acclaimed musical Cats have also performed for sold-out crowds here.

Elaborate renovations have made this grand building convenient and flexible for large groups with its 25,000 square feet of exhibit space capable of accommodating up to 90 booths. The Auditorium can accommodate break out space for groups from 20 to 200 and offers adaptable space for promoters and planners to work with.

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium, one of the regions most affordable facilities, is easily reached from major highways and is fully air-conditioned and handicapped accessible. The Auditorium's staff also includes security and technical personnel.

The Paul E. Tsongas Arena is the newest addition to the revitalized Lowell business and recreational community. The new 8,000-seat arena is home to the University of Massachusetts Lowell River Hawks ice hockey team and the home to the area's newest American Hockey League franchise, The Lowell Devils.

The Arena is also well suited to hosting small and mid-size convention-style meetings. Its 30,000 square feet of floor space allows the building to easily accommodate several thousand people. Ample parking is available on site and the Arena is within convenient walking distance to all downtown restaurants and attractions. In addition to the Tsongas' beautiful interior architecture, scenic walkways adjacent to the Merrimack River and canals provide attendees with an attractive outdoor setting for taking breaks and meeting with one another.
