CEDAR CITY, Utah-Tuesday, Southern Utah University and Cedar City-based State Bank of Southern Utah announced a major long-term sponsorship to reinforce a legacy of cooperation and a shared vision for succes of SUU and its students.
The new agreement formalizes a 15-year $5.25 million investment designed to enhance campus and community experiences, strengthen university programs and expand engagement opportunities across the region.
This results in the arena, first known as the Centrum upon its opening in 1985, and later as the America First Event Center, being renamed the State Bank Arena effective fall 2027.
The sponsorship includes the construction of a new external digital sign located directly in front of the arena. This will enhance SUU’s ability to promote athletic, academic and community events.
