Show Me Center

The 7,000-seat Show Me Center is the home of the Southeast Missouri men's and women's basketball teams. Additionally, the Show Me Center is the entertainment and meeting hub for the 250,000 residents in the tri-state region.

Since opening its doors in the summer of 1987, the Show Me Center has served Southeast Missouri State University, the City of Cape Girardeau, and the citizens of Southeast Missouri, Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky by providing quality concerts, sporting events, top-notch family entertainment, and a first-rate banquet, convention, and meeting facility.

The facility is a joint-venture of Southeast Missouri State and the City of Cape Girardeau. The combined Show Me Center and Student Recreation Center, which received a complete renovation and expansion in 1999, were originally built at a cost of $18 million.

The facility houses the Redhawks men's and women's locker room, which have been completely remodeled. New basketball offices on the north side of the Show Me Center were completed during the fall of 2003. Most recently, a new portable floor and goals were purchased before the 2011-12 season.

The Student Recreation Center is adjoined to the Show Me Center, and it houses the Redhawks practice facilities. The center has five full basketball courts (including two hardwood courts), a large weight room, six racquetball courts, an indoor track, two cardiovascular equipment areas, a climbing wall, two multipurpose rooms and full locker rooms. The new Student Aquatic Center, which opened in December, 2007, features a four-lane lap pool, a recreational pool with a rock wall and a zip line, a hot tub and locker rooms.
