Idaho’s new basketball arena moves closer to fruition with $10 million donation

The University of Idaho’s proposed $45 million basketball arena moved a step closer to reality Thursday.

Thanks to a $10 million gift, Idaho Central Credit Union will have the naming rights to the 62,000-square-foot, 4,200-seat arena for the next 35 years.

With ICCU’s donation, the Vandals have now raised $34 million of the $45 million needed to complete the project, which will be built on the north side of the ASUI-Kibbie Activity Center.

Groundbreaking will occur when funding for the entire project is secured.
