The annual home of the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Basketball Championship, The Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri, is a perfect venue for the league's postseason championship.

Since its opening in October of 1999 with a John Mellencamp concert, The Family Arena has been the stage for a number of entertainment and sporting events.

A state of the art performance center, the 10,467-seat facility has played host to collegiate and high school basketball events, professional football, hockey and soccer, a wide variety of concerts, and trade shows and conventions.

Located just two miles from the Historic St. Charles District, The Family Arena is surrounded by 3,600 parking spaces, and during the 2013 MVC Women's Basketball Championship, Valley fans will be able to park for free.
