The Four States Arena is a 5,600-seat multi-purpose arena in Texarkana, Texas. Built in 1985, the venue is located at the Four States Fairgrounds which is within the limits of Bobby Ferguson Park. The arena has been home to the Central Hockey League's Border City Bandits (2000-2001) as well as another minor league hockey team sharing the same nickname, the Texarkana Bandits (not to be confused with the prior team) from 2001-2006. Through the years, The Four States Arena has hosted many entertainers performing concerts along with a number of annual and seasonal events each year including the rodeo at the Four States Fair each September and the holiday-themed "Mistletoe Fair" in either November or December.
Famous quotes containing the words states and/or arena:
“In it he proves that all things are true and states how the truths of all contradictions may be reconciled physically, such as for example that white is black and black is white; that one can be and not be at the same time; that there can be hills without valleys; that nothingness is something and that everything, which is, is not. But take note that he proves all these unheard-of paradoxes without any fallacious or sophistical reasoning.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
“This is a Senate of equals, of men of individual honor and personal character, and of absolute independence. We know no masters, we acknowledge no dictators. This is a hall for mutual consultation and discussion; not an arena for the exhibition of champions.”
—Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
