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:
“Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divides States and churches, it divides families; ay, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[I]t forged ahead to become a full-fledged metropolis, with 143 faro games, 30 saloons, 4 banks, 27 produce stores, 3 express offices—and an arena for bull-and-bear fights, which, described by Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune, is said to have given Wall Street its best-known phrases.”
—For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
