History in the Making: GSR’s New Arena Set to Transform Reno

Grand Sierra Resort has officially broken ground on a $435 million arena—the centerpiece of a $1 billion redevelopment project, the largest private investment in Reno’s history.

Once complete in 2027, the 300,000-square-foot arena will be the new home of Nevada Men’s Basketball and will seat up to 10,000 fans. Beyond basketball, the venue is expected to host nearly 100 events a year, bringing concerts, shows, and sports to Northern Nevada like never before.

The project includes much more than just the arena:

• A 2,800-space parking garage

• A new community ice center

• A revamped Grand Bay aquatic golf facility

• Plans for future housing and hotel expansion

Altogether, GSR projects the redevelopment will generate over $1 billion in economic impact, creating jobs, boosting tourism, and giving Reno a world-class entertainment hub.

As UNR President Brian Sandoval put it: “This groundbreaking signals a new era for Northern Nevada and our University.”
