Additionally, it is designed to accommodate a wide variety of other events including NCAA championships such as wrestling, swimming and volleyball, as well as concerts, circus, wrestling, boxing and ice shows.
AES scope of work consisted of the temperature controls for the entire facility and parking garage. AES installed the arenas speaker system and assisted with the commissioning of the sound system. AES installed the entire site lighting around the massive structure including installation of lights down 3rd street and River Road.
