Middle Tennessee State University Livestock Center > Facility Information

Facility Description

The MTSU Livestock Center is located on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University. The complex was completed in 1988 and offers over 155,000 square feet of space under roof. It provides an excellent temperature-controlled environment.

This building is an older agricultural arena. It is maintained but shows its age in certain areas. Murfreesboro is a pre-civil war era town but now thrives as a college community.

Crating & Potty Area

Spacious crating. Mostly on concrete, although dirt crating is available.
Distance to the arena is not an issue
There is no crating in the actual arena area (Vendors may set-up closer to the arena)
There are multiple grass potty areas just outside the building. Buckets and bags are available
