Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Show Place Arena

14900 Pennsylvania Avenue

Upper Marlboro, MD 20772

Just about 20 miles east of Washington, D.C., Show Place Arena sits within the Prince George’s Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro, making it an easy drive for fans across the DMV.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in large surface lots that accommodate standard and event parking.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; driving is recommended.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. This gives you time to park, move through entry, and get settled — especially for high-demand nights when lots fill up quickly. With limited public transit in the area, most guests drive, so arriving early helps you avoid congestion.

Show Place Arena is primarily an indoor venue, but many adjacent equestrian facilities are outdoors and subject to weather. If you’re attending an equestrian competition or an event that uses both indoor and outdoor spaces, bring weather-appropriate layers and comfortable footwear.

The terrain around the complex is mostly flat, though you may have a moderate walk from the parking lots to the entrances. Cell service is generally reliable, but it can slow during major events, so download your tickets in advance for faster entry.

Venue Navigation

Once inside, you’ll find a straightforward multi-purpose arena layout that’s reconfigured based on the event — with reserved seating surrounding the floor and additional setups for concerts, equestrian competitions, and banquets. Concession stands operate during events, and merchandise stands pop up for major shows and sporting cards.

Restrooms, concessions, and ATMs are located throughout the concourses to reduce wait times and keep lines moving. Because parking lots can be expansive, comfortable shoes are a smart choice, especially if you plan to explore other parts of the Prince George’s Equestrian Center before or after your event.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Limited information available — please check the venue’s official guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Limited information available — review the event’s official notices for the most current list.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Leave extra time for parking in the on-site lots.
• If attending equestrian events in outdoor areas, bring weather-ready clothing and comfortable footwear.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re driving in from the Washington, D.C. area or elsewhere in Prince George’s County, build in a buffer for traffic and parking so you can arrive stress-free. For major Show Place Arena events, meeting your group at a specific entrance or landmark near the main doors makes it easier to reconnect before heading to your seats.

Attending an equestrian competition? Consider arriving early to explore the broader Prince George’s Equestrian Center grounds and get acclimated to the arena’s event layout. Because the venue handles everything from concerts to banquets, checking your event’s configuration on the seating map helps you plan your route and timing.

Large surface lots and flexible arena setups can make post-show meetups tricky if you separate. Pick a clear, easy-to-find spot near the entrance or a visible concourse area to regroup after the show.

Accessibility

Show Place Arena is ADA-accessible, with on-site ADA parking, accessible seating, and ramps to support barrier-free entry and movement throughout the facility. Accessibility options vary by event configuration, so it’s best to review the seating map and plan your route in advance.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and beverages during events. ATMs are available on-site, and merchandise stands operate at major shows.
