What We Could Not Verify

Not confirmed
  • Date the building opened is not on the pages read.
  • Sources disagree: Arena capacity: description says "The Arena seats 10,700"; seat breakdown says 7,316 permanent plus 2,405 riser seats (about 9,721) with 1,000 theater-style extra. Both on the same official page.
  • The map pin is approximate, from OpenStreetMap, not a surveyed entrance.
