U.S. Bank Arena

U.S. Bank Arena (originally known as the Riverfront Coliseum and later known as The Crown and the Firstar Center) is an indoor arena located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio near the Ohio River next to the Great American Ball Park. Completed in 1975, the arena seats 12,823 for ice hockey. It was the home of the Cincinnati Stingers of the WHA from 1975-1979. Since then, the arena has hosted other minor-league hockey teams and various concerts, political rallies, and other events. The facility's longest-serving tenant was the men's basketball program of the University of Cincinnati, which used the arena from its completion until 1993, when UC built an on-campus facility now known as Fifth Third Arena. The building was heavily renovated in 1997, and is still in use. The current main tenant is the Cincinnati Marshals of the National Indoor Football League.
