Evansville Arena Update (Ford Center)

Postby klinky » August 7th, 2010, 12:47 pm

The construction of the new Evansville Arena is reaching a bit of a milestone. The upper bowl is now nearly complete and soon the roof will be under construction. It appears that we're on schedule to completion for the beginning of the 2011 season.

Looks nice...and looks like the fans will be right on top of the action. How many will it hold?

It looks like if you sit in the very top row, that you won't be able to see the game or court?

Hopefully Evansville can draw some bigger crowds.
