Intrust Bank Arena

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>The facility was known as Sedgwick County Arena during early planning stages, and was meant to replace the <a href="/facts/Kansas_Coliseum/Nyd3Vq16">Kansas Coliseum</a> located north of Wichita (it opened in 1977 and closed in 2010).
</p><p>On November 9, 2004, <a href="/facts/Sedgwick_County%2c_Kansas/cbwyTyL9">Sedgwick County</a> voters approved the downtown arena at a projected construction cost of $183,625,241<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> by a 52–48% vote. On April 4, 2005, Governor <a href="/facts/Kathleen_Sebelius/lucT3VXc">Kathleen Sebelius</a> signed the Intrust Bank Arena tax bill authorizing Sedgwick County to collect a 1% sales tax beginning July 1, 2005 for 30 months. On January 10, 2008, Sedgwick County announced it had reached a 25-year, $8.75 million naming rights deal with Wichita-based Intrust Bank, the largest bank headquartered in Kansas. This complements a 20-year, $3 million deal with <a href="/facts/Cessna_Aircraft_Company/wSSdMC0Y">Cessna Aircraft Company</a> to name an adjacent outdoor plaza, and a concourse area deal with <a href="/facts/Spirit_AeroSystems/k6GpjqHc">Spirit AeroSystems</a>.
</p><p>It was announced on March 9, 2010, that the Intrust Bank Arena was voted the 'Best Arena' and 'Best Locker Rooms' and also voted third in the 'Best Press Box' category in the <a href="/facts/Central_Hockey_League/T4QqwWLD">Central Hockey League</a>'s annual 'Best of the Best' poll.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> The Intrust Bank Arena cracked Pollstar's Top 50 Arena Venues for ticket sales during the first quarter of 2010. Intrust Bank Arena ranked 22nd in the United States and 45th worldwide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> In 2010, net profit was $2,010,736<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> with depreciation of $4.4 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a>
