Did You Know?

Work started on the new arena in November 2008.The Task Force meetings were not without controversy.

The other sources of revenue to cover the deletion of the hotel include, $265 million from a tax-increment financing district, The city's pledge of $206 million minimum, $179 million from interior advertising, $84 million facility fee, $63 million in luxury suite revenues, and $37 million in building naming rights.The removal of the plaza would allow for a wider Main Street plaza and would allow for new features, such as a Washington Street entrance. It would also allow for more design flexibility and would lend itself to host after-hour concerts and other events on the plaza.As a result of the subtracted hotel and the revised projected revenues, the arena, which would have lost $123,000 a year originally, might turn a small profit. The arena would generate $9.2 million a year in rent, merchandise, concessions and other revenues, along with funds from a $2 ticket tax on every Louisville men's basketball game during the first 30 years of the arena's operation.

The seat width also increased from 19 to 20 inches.

On April 19, 2010, it was announced that Yum! Brands would pay US $13.5 million for the naming rights and will place KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell in seven concession stands within the arena.The University of Louisville men's and women's basketball teams will be the primary tenants in the arena complex, however, conventions, ice shows, and collegiate sport championships would also use the facility as well. It will be the fifth largest college basketball arena in the nation.Early arena planning focused on two potential arena sites: one owned by the Louisville Water Company bounded by Liberty Street, Muhammad Ali Blvd, Second and Third Streets, and one owned by Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E) on the waterfront between Second and Main streets. In March 2006, University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino stated he would not coach in an arena built at the water company site. This came at a time when the House budget committee earmarked funding for the arena only if it was built at the water company site.

The new substation, projected to cost $63 million, was completed in October 2008, at which time the land that housed the old substation was transferred to the Louisville Arena Authority for construction of the new arena.

The hotel would have also taken land away from a public plaza along Main Street.
