Spokane Public Facilities District (original) (raw)

The Spokane Public Facilities District (SPFD) is the government body in Spokane, Washington that manages the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane Convention Center and the First Interstate Center for the Arts. It was created in 1989 by the Washington State Legislature to create a plan to replace the old Spokane Coliseum. The Coliseum was eventually replaced by the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena. The SPFD recently completed a 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) expansion of the Convention Center by building the Exhibit Halls.
