Presented by: Proposed Sports and Event Complex in Coeur d ...

As shown, six indoor venues are offered at the Fairgrounds, ranging in size from 2,400 to 16,500
square feet. The largest venue, the Jacklin Building, is only rented from May through
September. Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are connected via enclosed walkways, providing a total of
17,000 square feet.
A 5,000 to 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena was proposed to host indoor and mixed-use events at
the Fairgrounds. A feasibility study completed for the facility indicated that it may be market
supportable. However, logistical and public funding issues have prevented this project from
moving forward. The facility being considered at Riverstone is similar to the concept studied by
the Fairgrounds. Therefore, if the Riverstone facility moves forward, the Fairgrounds would
likely need to consider other development alternatives. This will be discussed in more detail in
the Building Program Analysis presented later in this report.

The Greyhound Park and Event Center is a multi-use facility
located on the Idaho-Washington border between Coeur d’Alene
and Spokane. The converted greyhound racetrack offers 30,000
square feet of indoor space, indoor bleacher seating for 1000, a
full service restaurant and bar, and banquet facilities for large
parties. The facility hosts a variety of community, cultural and
personal events including the Julyamsh Pow Wow, the Coeur
d'Alene Balloonfest, concerts, auctions, and boat, car and RV
shows.
