Riverview Health Arena logs 73 events, $4M revenue in first year; Horizon League championships coming 2027–2031

Mayor Chris Jensen highlighted the first-year performance of the Riverview Health Arena at Innovation Mile as a centerpiece of the city’s event and tourism strategy.

"We have hosted 73 unique events here at this space. We've seen 60,000 people, individual unique people walk through the doors ... We have seen over $4,000,000 in general revenue created for this space in its 1st year," Jensen said, noting the arena hosted concerts, athletic events, conventions and community gatherings.

He announced that the Horizon League will bring its men's and women's basketball championships to the Riverview Health Arena from 2027 through 2031, projecting that the long-term relationship will attract student-athletes, families and media from seven Midwestern states.

Jensen framed the arena’s performance as evidence that the city’s investment in Innovation Mile is producing economic and cultural returns for Noblesville.
