Opened on January 2, 2010 in the heart of downtown Wichita, Kansas, INTRUST Bank Arena is a 15,004-seat multipurpose indoor arena owned by Sedgwick County and operated by ASM Global. The 205.5-million-dollar facility was funded without debt from the proceeds of a voter-approved one-percent county sales tax, eliminating the need for bonds and saving approximately 112 million dollars in interest. Concert capacity reaches 15,750 for a centre-stage configuration or 10,100 for an end-stage setup. The arena features 22 suites, 40 loge boxes, and over 300 premium seats beneath 65-foot ceilings that were specifically designed shorter than those of larger arenas to improve acoustics and create a more intimate concert experience. A centrally hung four-sided scoreboard with high-resolution video and LED screens complements smaller LED rings circling the bowl. Sixteen concession stands serve the concourse, and the indoor box office offers 12 ticket windows. INTRUST Bank Arena is the second-largest indoor arena in Kansas and serves as the home of the Wichita Thunder of the ECHL. The venue hosts a full calendar of concerts, family shows, comedy, sporting events, and conventions, and set its attendance record of 16,172 during a Zach Bryan concert in August 2023. More than 4,000 parking spaces are available within a four-block radius. Designed by Arena Design Consortium -- a collaboration of HOK Sport (now Populous), WDM Architects, Gossen Livingston Architects, and McCluggage Van Sickle and Perry -- the arena broke ground on December 4, 2007. Walter P Moore provided structural engineering and Hunt/Dondlinger served as general contractor. The arena hosted first- and second-round games of the 2018 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, elevating its national profile as a tournament-ready facility.
