Eliminated from previously disclosed plans: an upper level of seating and a small horse/livestock arena between the existing barns and the new facility, along with more barn and multi-purpose space.
Seating capacity would be reduced by 1,354 for basketball and 1,682 for concerts.
The construction would occur in such a way that the existing Norick Arena would remain operational until the new facility is complete, then it would be demolished.
The new arena is budgeted to receive $63 million in funding from MAPS 4, and was also allocated $9 million from MAPS 3.
