The $67 million arena, named for donor and hotel magnate John Q. Hammons, has been under construction since 2006.
The university said booking the Eagles caused a change in plans to have basketball games as the arena's opening events.
The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide. Their hits include "Hotel California," "Desperado" and "Take It Easy." They began their "Long Road Out of Eden" tour in May.
