War Memorial - Main Level


The main level of the War Memorial Arena features an auditorium that can hold up to 8,000 people, depending on seating arrangements. Every seat has a clear view with our obstruction-free design. Meeting breaks and event intermissions offer an opportunity for visitors to examine the extensive historical exhibits located throughout the building. These fascinating three-dimensional displays salute and commemorate the Onondaga County men and women who served in America's military.
