The Pattee Arena is 28,000 sq.ft. and easily accommodates large concerts, rodeos and horse shows. With 500 amps, elevated seating on both sides of stage, 3 recently renovated dressing rooms and a maximum capacity of 5,800 people(with seats set up on the floor), it is an ideal setting for spectacular events on the Monterey Peninsula.
