(University of Iowa Banner - KIWA Staff Photo)Sioux City, Iowa (RI) — Tuesday night’s Iowa men’s basketball game will serve as a showcase for recent upgrades to the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, including a brand-new basketball court.
Sioux City Events Center manager Mike Collett says the game highlights a facility that has undergone several improvements ahead of another busy season of basketball.
Corey Westra, co-director of the NAIA Women’s Basketball National Championship, says the new court was designed specifically for high-level basketball while also featuring a unique local touch.
Westra says the renovated facility includes several other upgrades beyond the playing surface.
The Iowa men’s basketball team will play at the Events Center on Tuesday night, while the Hawkeye women are scheduled to play there on Sunday.
The facility will also host the NAIA Women’s Basketball National Championship for the 30th time when the tournament returns to Sioux City in March.
