Chris Burnham, DFA’s president, said plans for the arena gained momentum after he made a trip to Omaha, Neb., along with other Akron leaders. The trip included a tour of the city’s combined arena/convention center, which provides the venue for Creighton University’s basketball team, and is downtown rather than on campus.
“It was a nice model,” Burnham said. “I and others thought, ‘Maybe we could replicate this.’ ”
