McElroy Auditorium

The McElroy Auditorium, is a 5,155 permanent seat multipurpose arena located in Waterloo, Iowa. The auditorium was built in 1919 and later fully renovated in 1936, to raise the roof floor excavation for seating expansion. It has since been renamed the Hippodrome.
McElroy's primary use over the years has been a major part of the National Cattle Congress where it hosts livestock shows, rodeos, trade shows among other events. For regular sporting events it was the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL for their first 30 years of existence as well as The Waterloo Hawks of the NBA from 1948 to 1951, making them to date the only major sports team to be located in the entire state of Iowa. Concerts also hold a history for the venue hosting major acts across many genres from KISS to Garth Brooks, Rob Zombie to Nelly.
