185 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JULY 2019 record for the venue on September 11, 2018, with more than 12,000 fans. The Sioux Falls Arena was built in 1961 and has hosted a wide variety of events from presidential visits, sporting events, concerts and rodeos, to circuses, graduations, trade shows, carnivals, and monster truck rallies. Today, the building still hosts the circus and concerts, and it continues to be used for a variety of other events year round, mostly smaller concerts and events. The Sioux Falls Convention Center features 70,000 square feet of flexible meeting and exhibit space, including a 16,800-square-foot ballroom and 12 breakout rooms. The facility offers on-site audio/ visual services, sound services, staging, and an experienced event management and catering staff to ensure successful events. The PREMIER Center hosts The Summit League Men’s Basketball Tournament and The Summit League Women’s Basketball Tournament every year in March. The winner receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship and the NCAA Women’s Division I Basketball Championship, respectively. Among Arena tenants are an Indoor Football League team, the Sioux Falls Storm that plays about seven home games per year there, and a USHL hockey team, the Sioux Falls Stampede, that recently won the Clark Cup championship, symbolic of supremacy in American junior hockey, presented annually to the playoff champions of the nation’s only Tier I circuit. The Denny Sanford PREMIER Center includes an integrated LED video display system designed and manufactured by Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota. The complete super-system consists of a center-hung scoreboard that includes four main video displays, four corner shroud displays, and upper and lower ring displays; a 360-degree ribbon display along the seating bowl fascia; two end-wall displays; and an exterior marquee display at the entrance to the facility. State-of- the-art LED lights are used instead of traditional incandescent lights, further enhancing the fan viewing experience. THE DENNY SANFORD PREMI ER CENTER
