In fewer than 300 days, Louisville will be home to a new sports arena equipped to handle everything from basketball to ice hockey. Louisville Arena Authority is undertaking a 238 million dollar project to add a multifaceted entertainment powerhouse to the skyline.
The arena will be equipped to handle many entertainment options:
* Home to University of Louisville's Men's and Women's basketball teams
* NCAA championships such as wrestling, swimming, and volleyball
* Concerts
* Circuses
* Wrestling
* Boxing
* Ice Shows
The Louisville Arena will be comprised of seven floors, totaling 721,762 square feet of space and will include club seating, suites, party suites, and junior suites. It features an impressive list of accommodations:
* two club lounges, a junior suite lounge, and a terrace club lounge
* team store
* generous amount of retail space
* restaurant overlooking the Ohio River
* sports bar with a view to the arena bowl
* meeting rooms
* practice facility
* press lounge
* landscaped entry plaza
* 760-car below grade parking garage
The Louisville Arena has followed a rigorous construction plan since it first broke ground in June of 2009 with a construction deadline of November 2010. This month its construction milestones will include completion of the east half's structural steel, the lobby steel, and the upper bowl precast.
Sportsfans can already anticipate both the 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (first and second rounds) and the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball 2012 National Championship. These events will greatly compliment the already regular hosting of the UL Men's and Women's Basketball Teams.
Tickets to the Louisville Arena for the UL Games will be assigned based on a points system. Patrons receive points for donations, each year they purchase football and/or basketball season tickets, each year they purchase season tickets to any UL non-basketball sport, and for signing up a new Cardinal Athletic Fund member.
