Dee Events Center is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Western United States, located on the campus of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. The circular, 11,592-seat domed arena, similar in design to many of the era, opened 49 years ago in 1977. It was named for the Lawrence T. Dee family, for his extensive contributions in building the arena.
