大到足以在NCAA锦标赛中主办第一轮和第二轮比赛，并容纳一个日益增长的社区，新设施还允许更多的灵活性，非篮球活动，如音乐会和家庭表演。这一设计反映了通过使用透明材料与外界分享竞技场活动的兴奋感，并允许内部流通向竞技场和会议开放。此外，该设施还设有豪华套房，位于座位碗中较低的位置，使套房的持有人更接近行动，同时为私人娱乐提供了隐秘的空间。

Large enough to host first and second round games in the NCAA Tournament and to accommodate a growing community, the new facility also allows more flexibility for non-basketball events such as concerts and family shows. The design reflects an effort to share the excitement of the arena activities with the outside world through the use of transparent materials, and allowing internal circulation to be open to both the arena and concourses throughout. In addition, the facility feature luxury suites low in the seating bowl that place suite holders closer to the action while providing seclusion for private entertainment.
