The arena contains a luxury suite that can hold 40 fans, as well as a climbing wall at the main lobby. Sixty percent of the arena's seating are chairs, the rest are bleachers. The arena can seat up to 5,500 for concerts, which moved with the basketball and volleyball teams to the new arena. The first concert was by rapper Lupe Fiasco. The new arena was built so that recording artists who have historically never played West Michigan can perform at this arena.
Spoelhof Fieldhouse accounts for 10% of the total square footage at the Calvin College campus. The total square footage of the arena is 362,000 square feet (33,600 m2).
