Mike Bohn was about to jump out of his hardhat with joy Wednesday afternoon, as the University of Cincinnati athletic director took local reporters on a tour of the school's $87 million Fifth Third Arena renovations.
The arena is set to reopen this fall, headlined by a Nov. 7 men's basketball season opener between UC and Ohio State. The UC women's basketball and women's volleyball teams also will be returning home to the arena, which is undergoing its largest renovations since opening in 1989 as the Myrl Shoemaker Center.
