Henderson says the facility is anticipated to have the following features:

  • Basketball courts that can convert to other court uses such as volleyball and pickleball.
  • Hybrid turf fields for sports like indoor soccer, box lacrosse and indoor football.
  • Birthday party and community rooms.
  • Family entertainment to potentially feature bowling, laser tag, arcade games, miniature golf and a restaurant and bar.

According to the release, the venue is being developed through a public-private partnership with KemperSports.

Residents will be eligible for 20 percent discounts on all amenities, the city stated in the release announcing the project.

Henderson advised that the complex will attract sports tournaments both locally and regionally, and is anticipated to have the following impact:

  • $1.5 million annual tax revenue.
  • $39.1 million total economic output annually.
  • $10.7 million in wages and salary.
