The Ford Center is a cornerstone for continued revitalization downtown. Its sweeping curved forms evoke the unique nature of the horseshoe bend in the Ohio River while providing an aesthetic that is of its time, reflecting its citizens’ forward-thinking nature. The use of native Indiana limestone at the arena’s base creates a visual grounding for the building while also respecting the materiality of Evansville’s civic buildings. The focused use of glass is intended to give frequent views both out of and into the building and to become a beacon for the city and its development.

The 290,000 square foot arena is located at the corner of Main Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. It is the home to the Evansville Iceman, our professional hockey team and to the University of Evansville mens' and women's basketball programs.  It is attracting major entertainment and concerts and a premier facility to host exhibitions, sporting events and conferences.
