Steve’s take
A real working basketball arena, and every year the exterior murals are redone entirely in dyed corn cobs. New theme each year — the 2026 design honors America's 250th. It is the kind of thing that sounds made up until you stand in front of it. Free, fast, photogenic. Two minutes off I-90.
