Construction crews to turn over Intrust Bank Arena keys on Friday night

Intrust Bank ArenaConstruction crews are expected to turn over the keys to Intrust Bank Arena just after midnight Friday night, assistant Sedgwick County manager Ron Holt told commissioners this morning.

SMG, which has the contract to manage the arena, will then take over.

The arena is “substantially complete,” meaning that most construction is finished and that only minor details, called “punch list” items, need attention.

    Newsletter, read the 62 words, there is still a “punch list” to be finished up, plus vendors need time to move in, staff training, etc. If you buy a new house, are you finished when they hand you the keys, or do you have to move in? Now multiply that by about 100.
