Sedgwick County Arena is a 17,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Wichita, Kansas currently under construction. It should be completed by 2009. It will be home to the Wichita Thunder ice hockey team and a potential reincarnation of the Wichita Stealth arena football team. It is also expected that there will be a push by Wichita officials to lure the University of Kansas and Kansas State University, two of the state's three Division I basketball programs, to play one home game each year in the state's largest city.

According to The Wichita Eagle (October 12, 2006), the arena will seat 15,000.
