Ford Center drives Evansville hopes for regional crowds
Evansville plans to use the Ford Center to attract out of state visitors and boost UE recruiting. The 10 000 to 11 000 seat arena features 16 suites sold up to 55000 annually and top seating with rolling chairs and personal screens. Funding comes from a food and beverage tax casino revenues and TIF district. SIU and UE fans anticipate first games in late 2009 through early 2010 with Butler and Indiana visitations.
