History: 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.  

Building Use: The Show Me Center 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.

Fun Fact: During the 1999-2000 season, Southeast led the OVC in basketball attendance with a record average attendance of 5,621 people per game.
