The gym seats up to 4,500 people for events which accommodate floor seating. Professional wrestling matches, usually booked and headlined by Sándor Szabó and featuring other wrestling talent based in Southern California, were a staple of the Fur Rendezvous Festival from the mid 1950s through the early 1960s.
