If built, the arena would sit 18,000 for hockey and 20,000 for concerts.[1]A week later, on April 25, the Forsyth County Board approved plans to move forward with the project.[2]
In March 2024, KSE revealed details on the cost of the arena came out which said that the arena would cost $700 million and that ASM Global would manage the arena, a group that has managed other arenas such as, T-Mobile Arena and Crypto.com Arena.[3]
