Radio Iowa You are here: Home Large shows return to Iowa Events Center Iowa’s largest indoor entertainment venue is bouncing back from the pandemic and is again offering a host of concerts and events to audiences of thousands. This coming weekend, the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines will be home to two shows of what’s billed as the World’s Toughest Rodeo at Wells Fargo Arena. The center’s Adam Flack says people are clamoring for tickets to events ranging from hockey to indoor football to an upcoming tattoo convention. “Iowans are interested in coming back,” Flack says. “We’ve seen positive results from all the events that we’ve put on sale. We believe that the rodeo, although it will be spaced out and look different in there, we believe that sales will be on par with what we’ve done every other year. What we’ve noticed as a whole, with all of our events, is that people are ready to get out and resume entertainment.”
