FOX 13 reported that bids have been approved this week to expand the Cross Hollow Events Center in Cedar City, according to arena manager Scott Christensen. The plans include a new covered outdoor arena measuring 150 by 225 feet, to be built between the recent addition and the outdoor arena. [1] A Cedar City Council staff sheet for the June 17 meeting listed the building at 150 by 225 feet, or 33,750 square feet, and said private donations had been received to cover the purchase and construction. [2]

Christensen said events bring visitors from outside the area for two to six days who spend money at local restaurants, motels and businesses. Arena crew member Joseph Morris said the facility has been "swamped every weekend" since the addition was built, and Christensen said it lets the center spread events across early fall and early spring. [1]

The traveling horse show Cirque Ma'Ceo is performing at the center, with its last chance to be seen this weekend, FOX 13 reported. [1]
