Hartman Arena is a privately managed 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena located at 77th Street North and I-135 in Park City, Kansas. Ground was broken on March 25, 2008, and opened the last week of March, 2009. It hosts home games of the Wichita Wild indoor football team. Tickets.com and Hartman Arena have a multiyear ticketing service agreement. The Architecture Firm of Law-Kingdon Inc. designed the facility.
Beginning in 2011, Hartman Arena will host the Kansas State High School Activities Association Class 6A and 5A State Wrestling Tournaments. They were moved here after one year at Intrust Bank Arena, in which the event lost money mainly due to the high rent. Hartman Arena is also the home to the Wichita Wings of the MISL. The Wings begin play November 3, 2011, coached by former Wings player Lebaron Hollimon.
Famous quotes containing the word arena:
“Children treat their friends differently than they treat the other people in their lives. A friendship is a place for experimenting with new ways of handling anger and aggression. It is an arena for practicing reciprocity, testing assertiveness, and searching for compromise in ways children would not try with parents or siblings.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
