The Fifth Third Arena renovations have been approved by the University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees, as reported by Tom Groeschen at the Enquirer.
The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees on Tuesday morning took the next step toward moving ahead with an $85 million renovation of Fifth Third Arena, unanimously approving $2.2 million in design funding toward the project. Fifth Third is the campus home of UC men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball since 1989, and the project will be financed by private funds.
“We’re thrilled. This is a huge step,” UC athletic director Mike Bohn said.
