Before you go

Hours not confirmed for Hy-Vee Arena. Check their pages first; they keep their own hours.

Hours, prices and reservations change. Anything we haven't recently source-checked is marked “Confirm today” in the planner rather than presented as fact. Check the venue's own page before you head out.

We last looked over this date on September 11, 2026. That is a review of the plan, not a promise that every detail is current.
