TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:
Morning tour of Xtream Arena and Green State Family Fieldhouse. The 5,100 fixed-seat (6,600 concert capacity) Xtream Arena powered by Mediacom serves as a highly accessible and most importantly, right sized venue for concerts, family shows, and special events. The arena is home for University of Iowa Volleyball and the Iowa Heartlanders ECHL hockey teams. With the arena’s direct connectivity to the 32,000 sq. ft 5-court Green State Family Fieldhouse, the facility enables this community to become a signature attracter of both amateur and professional sporting events and activities such as adult sports tournaments, community recreational programming, adult leagues, and other events. It will be a tour to remember.
