The Bank of Kentucky Center is a 9,000 to 10,000 seat multi-purpose arena in Highland Heights, Kentucky that was completed in 2008.

The arena was topped off on June 21, 2007 and the first event held there was the graduation ceremony of Northern Kentucky University, where the campus is located, on May 10, 2008.

The box office is open Monday through Friday from 10:00am-5:30pm [http://www.bankofkentuckycenter.com/events_info.asp] . A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for September 22, 2008 from 4-8pm.

The NKU men's and women's basketball teams will be the main tenants, [cite web|title=NKY.com|accessdate=2007-07-11|url=http://news.nky.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20070622/NEWS0103/706220407] but many outside events will be booked at the Center. Among the first were country music star Carrie Underwood, comedian Jeff Dunham, and the cast of the reality television show "So You Think You Can Dance".

The Norse will play Louisville on November 8 in the first hoops games in the venue. The women's and men's teams will both be in action. [cite web|title=NKU ticket information|url=http://www.nku.edu/~athletics/WBasketball/2007-08/releases/2008-09%20ticket%20info.html]
