History and use
The foundation stone for the development of the 346,100 square foot area on the banks of the Ohio River was laid on November 12, 1973. After two years of construction by Clark Engineering Corporation and Universal Contracting Corp. Designed by Pattee Architects, Inc., the building opened on September 9, 1975 at a cost of US $ 20 million . The arena can accommodate up to 17,000 spectators and is used for wrestling , basketball and inline skating . Eric Clapton , Prince , The Who and ZZ Top have also performed here . In 1979 there were eleven deaths during a concert by the group The Who, which led organizers to avoid the hall for a while; so concerts of Aerosmith and Blue Öyster Cult were canceled. The incident is described as " 1979 The Who concert disaster ". Only in 1980 with a performance by the ZZ Top group did concerts come back to the hall.
In 2003 the Great American Ball Park of the Cincinnati Reds from Major League Baseball (MLB) opened in the immediate vicinity .
