No independent arena in eastern Idaho?

Last week, the Fort Hall Casino anounced a huge expansion:

The $80 to $90 million facility will include 300,000 square feet, 1,200 to 1,300 gaming machines, an event center, 1,500-space parking lot, bus parking and room for future expansion.

It will also have a 300-seat bingo hall, meeting center, a buffet, fine dining restaurant, sports bar, and day care (limited to two and half hours.) No alcohol will be served. The 200-room hotel is five stories and will have space for retail.


Anybody know how many people the event center plans to seat? Will it be primarily for stage acts, or will it be versatile enough to host sporting events as well?

If it's like most other casino venues, it will likely seat around 1500 to three thousand (at the very most) and be strictly for entertainment shows, bringing in the kinds of acts they get in the perimeter resorts south of Vegas.
