New Auburn Arena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Auburn Arena will be a 9,600 seat multi-purpose arena in Auburn, Alabama. The arena is currently in the planning stages with 360 Architecture, and construction is expected to begin in June 2008. The new arena will be the home of the Auburn University Tigers basketball teams and will replace Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. It is tentatively scheduled to be built on the west side of campus, near Wire Road between Thach Ave. and Roosevelt Drive. If all goes according to plan, the arena will be complete for the 2010-2011 basketball season.
The new arena is projected to cost $92.5 million. It will contain two practice courts, a weight room, and twelve suites.
The new arena does not yet have a name. There have been discussions of obtaining a corporate sponsorship or of naming it after a prominent Auburn alum.
