Since 1937 the Bison Arena has been part of the Kansas State Fair. From 4H Exhibition space, WW2 Recruitment Center, to Show Barn, Cattle Barn and Tractor Pull Barn 

The Bison Arena has been an Agriculture Centerpiece at the Fair for almost a century. Working together, the Kansas Fair Foundation, The Kansas State Fair and The State of Kansas have begun to bring the vision of The Bison Arena Agriculture Innovation Center to life. To Date, we have completed phase one and two which included the exterior remodel and interior phase one. Now, We invite you, the Kansas agriculture community to partner with the Kansas Fair Foundation to shape the story of Kansas agriculture. We are looking for farm families, organizations, companies and experts that would like to invest or inject resources, funds, knowledge and innovations. Partners that would love to support a story that will excite and engage fair goers, year round Bison Arena students and guests and future generations of farmers and consumers. If this is you, please reach out so we may collaborate to bring the story of Kansas Agriculture to life!
