Financing
The $16 million building was funded with $7.5 million from Lauridon Sports Management, Inc., of Toronto. New York State provided a $3 million grant, Chemung County provided $1.5 million in room tax revenue, while the City of Elmira has secured $4 million in HUD-Community Development Funds.
The arena opened two non-alcoholic sections at the arena. The sections are adjacent to the player entrances to help with player security.The Jackals said season ticket holders who did not wish to remain in the now alcohol-free section were given the option of switching their seats to another location.
The venue's name changed in 2003 to First Arena after Coach USA was purchased by First Transit. (Facilities, Ice Hockey, Minor League, Professional Sports, Venue)
