Weber Arena, located in Manhattan, KS, is a versatile 3500-seat facility that serves as a hub for research, teaching, and extension activities in the field of animal sciences and industry. It offers a range of functionalities, including serving as a feeding laboratory for nutrition studies, a class laboratory for animal evaluation, a venue for student activities such as The Little American Royal and a Collegiate Rodeo, and a space for National Breed Associations to hold meetings and state breed associations to organize shows and sales.
Originally featuring a tan-bark floor, the arena underwent renovation in 1986-87, during which some of the animal holding stalls were transformed into a student lounge. In 1988, a generous donation of $100,000 from Wayne and Elizabeth Rogler established a library within the lounge, further enhancing the facility's educational offerings.
