"The Denny Sanford Premier Center [in Sioux Falls] opened in October of 2014. It cost
$117 million to complete. The Premier Center can seat up to 13000 and it
added 30,000 square feet of flat floor space to the adjacent convention
center and arena.
Compare that to the proposed Rushmore Plaza
expansion in Rapid City. The new arena in Rapid City would cost $120
million dollars. That's in addition to the $40 million cost to rebuild
the Don Barnett arena. It would add about 50,000 square feet of floor
space and add another 10,000 seats."
I'm not sure whether this is a good argument against the Civic Center. If an act could fill both Civic Centers as it travels across the country, why wouldn't they? On the other hand, what act could fill both?
