The DEX, located at the SD State Fairgrounds, is a one of a kind multifunctional space. With over 150,000 square feet to play with, this building can transform from a cattle barn and arena stalling up to 1,700 head, to a rodeo arena with two full size arenas or even a concert venue! No matter what you're looking to do, the DEX is here for you! 

Upcoming Events
