CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Construction of the F&M Bank Arena is all but complete, and it’s just about ready for move-in day.

Clarksville Now toured the site this week, getting a look at the mostly finished product, which consists of three adjoining facilities: the main 6,000-seat arena, the Austin Peay State University basketball practice facility and the Ford Ice Center.

The main arena is a flexible event space for hockey, basketball, concerts, trade shows and other events. The Ford Ice Center will operate like other open-to-the-community facilities in Middle Tennessee, offering youth hockey, ice skating, skating lessons, club hockey and more.

The arena is expected to hold its first scheduled events in July.
