"Roberts, like the Aces themselves, can never really be replaced in the hearts and minds of fans in Evansville. It was a special place. A place where you saw everyone you wanted to see and where you, in turn, were seen." --- Kyle Keiderling, author of "Trophies and Tears"

Welcome to Evansville: The Town of Twos
Many locals believe that having both Roberts Stadium and the new arena would be in unchartered territory. They say that we simply cannot have two of anything. But, if you look around town, you will notice that Evansville has two of a lot of things. Let's take a look: (click on images for links to sources)
Two Courthouses:
Two Jails:
Two Bank Towers:
Two Malls:
Two Large Universities:
Two Libs Family Chocolate Companies:
Two Historic Ohio Street Bridges:

Two Downtown Post Office Buildings:
Two Online Newspapers:
Two Downtown Buildings That Were Built For A Library:
And Even...
Two Governments
... which means two councils, two law enforcement agencies, and two tax structures.
You won't have to be in Evansville very long before you start seeing double vision.
So why not two great arenas?
Evansville is... The Town of Twos!
