Event Staffing at the Cross Insurance Center

Concerts, basketball, and conventions at the Cross Insurance Center need teams that cover the whole complex. Meridian Talent House provides them.

Staffing for events at Cross Insurance Center

Located at 515 Main Street in Bangor's Bass Park complex, across from Hollywood Casino Bangor, the Cross Insurance Center opened in 2013. The arena seats 5,800, with capacity for up to 8,500 for concerts, and is home to University of Maine Black Bears basketball. An attached convention center hosts up to 2,000 guests, with room for 260 exhibit booths.

Meridian Talent House staffs events in 29 states, including Maine, so one partner can cover your full event calendar.

Meridian Talent House is an independent staffing agency. We staff events held at Cross Insurance Center, and we are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the venue.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of staff can you provide for events at the Cross Insurance Center?
Booth staff and product demonstrators, brand ambassadors for concourse and sponsor activations, registration and check-in teams, VIP and suite hospitality staff, wayfinding greeters, and guest services support for both arena and convention events.

Pricing is custom-quoted based on the market, the role, event length, and staffing level, with a 4-hour minimum per staffer. A 50% deposit secures your booking. Cancellation terms follow our 7-day tiers, and full details are in our Terms and Conditions.
How far in advance should we book for a convention or arena event?
Two to four weeks of lead time is ideal, so we can match, brief, and confirm the right team. Rush staffing is often available on shorter timelines.
Can you staff the arena and the convention center at the same time?
Yes. We build separate briefed teams for the arena and the convention side, so a concert and a trade show can run on the same weekend without splitting attention.
Do you staff events outside the complex as well?
Yes. We staff street teams, pop-ups, and off-site activations around Bangor, which pairs well with arena and convention programming.
