Inside SDSU's First Bank & Trust Arena

South Dakota State University’s arena has been completely transformed, offering an enhanced experience for both athletes and fans.

 
EAPC led the ambitious renovation and expansion of the 154,225-square-foot facility, elevating it into a state-of-the-art venue. The reconfigured seating bowl now provides improved sightlines, while new private boxes, clubs, and party decks create premium viewing opportunities. An expanded concourse adds upgraded amenities, and cutting-edge sports medicine facilities—including hydrotherapy—enhance athlete recovery and performance. Additionally, modern classrooms and dedicated study areas emphasize the university’s commitment to both athletic and academic excellence. This revitalized arena isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer for SDSU’s student-athletes and the entire fan experience.
