Clarksville Tennessee Development - Page 2

The Montgomery County Multi-purpose Events Center (arena) has started the construction process by clearing of the land near downtown where the 5,000 seat arena will go. Barricades and fencing are up and excavation should be starting soon. The renderings have been revised somewhat from the original revealed a year ago, but still features the 5,000 seat arena and a separate room with a sheet of ice for Junior Hockey and public skating.

The primary occupants of the 'arena' will be the Austin Peay State Men's and Women's basketball teams. It is known that minor league hockey is strongly desired to help fill the building, which will be managed by the group that owns the Nashville Predators and manages the wildly successful Bridgestone area in Nashville.

Some informational cards...

Barricades and fences:

The cleared off lot from the NW...

Some (new) renderings ....

Even though Montgomery County (2020 est. population 217,820) is actually building the facility, Clarksville (2020 est. population 164,496) will be taking a large step towards being the surprisingly large city that it actually is and not just a distant (45 miles) appendage of Nashville.

Some recent news about the City's approval to purchase the current Roxy Theater to build a Performing Arts Center for Clarksville. No details are available yet.

The Montgomery County Multi-purpose Events Center (arena) in Clarksville (see above) is well underway with excavation making great progress.

As construction moves along...

the arena receives a name; FM Bank Arena per Clarksville Now;

Quote:

The arena under construction in downtown Clarksville finally has an official name, or the start of one: F&M Bank.

The bank is buying naming rights to the facility, but it is not yet decided whether it will be called the F&M Bank Arena, F&M Bank Event Center or, as some jokingly suggested at the announcement Tuesday afternoon, the F&M Bank Hippodrome.

The Austin Peay Basketball teams will be the primary tenants along with a likely Minor League Hockey team. Many other events and shows are expected to fill the 6,000 seat arena as it will be operated by 'Sabertooth Sports and Entertainment', the same group that operates the wildly successful Bridgestone Arena in Nashville

Arena construction (mine) pictures from September 27, 2021. Coming along nicely.

And just across the street is a Nashville style restaurant with a rooftop bar and a muscle car exhibit. The descriptions on the slide are from Clarksville Now. They are pouring a reinforced concrete core for this. It was up to the second floor Sunday.

This is not part of the entertainment district planned for the block to the west.
