Cadence Bank Arena, formerly Tupelo Coliseum, BancorpSouth Center and BancorpSouth Arena is a 10,000-seat multi-purpose arena, near downtown Tupelo, Mississippi, named for the locally based Cadence Bank, a large multi-state commercial banking company.
It was the home of the Tupelo FireAnts and Mississippi MudCats arena football, the Tupelo T-Rex ice hockey teams and the Tupelo Hound Dogs of the Eastern Indoor Soccer League. It was also the home of the Mississippi Hound Dogs of the Ultimate Indoor Football League.
The $16 million, 32,000 sq ft (3,000 m2) facility was built in 1993, and is one of the more modern arenas serving a small market in the mid-south. Its lot was previously occupied by a shopping mall called Downtown Mall. When the mall closed in 1990 the arena was retrofitted from the old building.
The arena also seats 8,000 for sports events, ranging from basketball to rodeos.
