With the help of technical magic, the floor of the Long Beach Arena transforms into a 45,000-square-foot event space. The loft-style Ballroom is formed by dropping electrically operated curtains, masking the view of the upper deck seating. An overhead truss grid, complete with LED lights, stage lighting, sound system and decorative elements, lowers into place to create an attractive, intimate venue for up to 5,500 people for dinners, concerts, meetings or other special events.
