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

Silverwood Theme Park
Spokane Arena
Spokane Arena opened in 1995 and is owned and operated
by the Spokane Public Facilities District. It has capacities
of approximately 12,500 for concerts, 12,000 for basketball
and 11,000 for hockey. The Arena is home to the Spokane
Chiefs of the Western Hockey League and the Spokane
Shock of af2 (arena football league). In a recent year of
operation, the Arena hosted 47 tenant events, 21 concerts,
25 family shows, 25 community events and 12 non-tenant
sports events.

Silverwood Theme Park is an estimated 212-acre
recreation and entertainment park offering roller
coasters, water slides and other rides that attracts
approximately 500,000 patrons annually. Located
approximately 20 miles north of Coeur d’Alene, the
Park would likely serve more as a complimentary
facility, helping to add to the overall appeal of the
destination.
Spokane Arena would likely represent the primary competitor for concerts and other touring
events that could utilize a new event facility in Coeur d’Alene. However, a facility in Coeur
d’Alene may have opportunities to establish a niche in the market by offering promoters a more
intimate, lower cost alternative to Spokane Arena.
INB Performing Arts Center
The INB Performing Arts Center is a 2,700-seat fixed
seating venue that is also owned and operated by the
Spokane Public Facilities District. The Center hosts a
variety of performing arts and symphony concerts
annually. The Center also hosts some touring concerts
and entertainment events. However, the facility has a
significantly smaller capacity and a differing event focus
compared to the envisioned Coeur d’Alene facility, which
will likely limit competition between the two venues.
