Intrust Bank Arena (known as Sedgwick County Arena during early planning stages) is a 15,004-seat multi-purpose arena, located in downtown Wichita, Kansas, United States. The arena features 22 suites, 2 party suites, and over 300 premium seats. It is home to the Wichita Thunder of the ECHL and the Wichita Force of the CIF.

It is the second largest indoor arena in the state of Kansas, behind Allen Fieldhouse, which seats 16,300. Nearby arenas in neighboring states seat 17,839 (Tulsa), 18,203 (Oklahoma City), and 18,972 (Kansas City, Missouri).

History

On November 9, 2004, Sedgwick County voters approved the downtown arena at a projected construction cost of $183,625,241^[6] by a 52-48% margin.

On April 4, 2005, Governor Kathleen Sebelius 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 Intrust Bank, which complements a 20-year, $3 million deal with Cessna Aircraft Company to name an adjacent outdoor plaza, and a concourse area deal with Spirit AeroSystems. The City of Wichita placed a bid to host the first two rounds of the 2011, 2012 or 2013 men's NCAA Division I basketball tournament. However, there wasn't enough seating, nor any nearby hotels, so the arena was passed over.

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 Central Hockey League's annual 'Best of the Best' poll.^[7]

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.^[8]

In 2010, net profit was $2,010,736^[9] with depreciation of $4.4 million.^[10] In 2011, net profit was $389,659.^[11] In 2012, net profit was $703,000.^[12] The Arena will host the 2018 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament 1st and 2nd round games
