The Minneapolis Convention Center is a large convention center located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota that opened in 1990.[1] It is located one block away from Nicollet Mall near Orchestra Hall. The Minneapolis Convention Center has a quadruple-domed roof and because of its volume can host multiple events on the same day.

In 1994, after four years of demand beyond expectations, a 760,000 square foot addition was approved. Work started in 1999 and was opened in 2002. The addition featured a 3,433 fixed-seat auditorium, two 99,000 square foot exhibit halls, 39 more meeting rooms, a 23,000 square foot kitchen, and 16 additional loading docks.
