The largest venues in Minnesota
Ranked by stated capacity, then by how much the record can prove. Open data rarely publishes a capacity for a convention centre, so a hall may sit below an arena here without being the smaller room.

4 more towns have a venue worth its own guide
The town itself is too thinly mapped for a city guide, but the venue publishes enough to stand on its own.
- Alexandria: Arrowwoopd Resort & Conference Center, Sebeka Event Center, Brandon Auditorium and Fire Hall
- Bemidji: Beltrami County Fairgrounds
- Spirit Lake: Dickinson County Expo Building
- Worthington: Comfort Suites & Conference Center
Also in Minnesota, with nothing mapped yet to build a guide from: Brooklyn Park, Apple Valley and Minnetonka Mills. They appear here rather than as pages with three facts on them.
