How will the interest of IMG/ISG affect the funding of the arena?
ISG is a joint venture of IMG, its parent company, and Bastion Stadiums, LLP. The partnership brings private sector financing and business practices to entertainment and sports venues around the world. In recent years they financed the 90,000 seat Wembley Stadium in London, England at a price of 800 million pounds. They have also shown an interest in building a new arena for the University of Kentucky basketball program to replace the aging Rupp Arena.
