History
The facility was known as Sedgwick County Arena during early planning stages. It was meant to replace the Kansas Coliseum north of Wichita.
On November 9, 2004, Sedgwick County voters approved the downtown arena at a projected construction cost of $183,625,241 by a 52–48% vote. On April 4, 2005, Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed the Intrust Bank Arena tax bill authorizing Sedgwick County to collect a 1% sales tax beginning July 1, 2005 for 30 months. On January 10, 2008, Sedgwick County announced it had reached a 25-year, $8.75 million naming rights deal with Wichita-based Intrust Bank, the largest bank headquartered in Kansas. This complements a 20-year, $3 million deal with Cessna Aircraft Company to name an adjacent outdoor plaza, and a concourse area deal with Spirit AeroSystems .
It was announced on March 9, 2010, that the Intrust Bank Arena was voted the 'Best Arena' and 'Best Locker Rooms' and also voted third in the 'Best Press Box' category in the Central Hockey League 's annual 'Best of the Best' poll. The Intrust Bank Arena cracked Pollstar's Top 50 Arena Venues for ticket sales during the first quarter of 2010. Intrust Bank Arena ranked 22nd in the United States and 45th worldwide. In 2010, net profit was $2,010,736 with depreciation of $4.4 million. In 2011, net profit was $389,659. In 2012, net profit was $703,000. Metallica set the all-time attendance record for a single-concert when it hosted 15,690 fans at the sold-out show on March 4, 2019.
The arena is owned by the government of Sedgwick County , and operated by ASM Global (itself owned by The Anschutz Corporation through Anschutz Entertainment Group ), making it a sister venue to the Orpheum Theatre also located in downtown Wichita that is separately owned by nonprofit Orpheum Performing Arts Centre LTD.
