Verizon Arena
From FranaWiki
ALLTEL Arena is an 18,000-seat indoor venue for concerts and other entertainment events located in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The arena is across the river from the downtown Little Rock River Market. The arena was built in 1998 and 1999. During construction a number of construction flaws appeared, including "concrete pillars and connecting incline beams that were poured up to six inches out of alignment." A cracked upper deck beam, soon remedied, caused cancellation of a Lakers-Wizards NBA game in October 1999.
The arena lost $378,000 in 2001, and turned a profit of $51,000 in 2002.
