CLEVELAND, Tenn. – City school officials are counting down the months until the construction of Cleveland High School’s Raider Arena is completed.
The $11 million Raider Arena replaces the high school’s landmark Raider Dome, which closed in December 2013. Construction of the new facility began in November 2014.
Wooden floors are being installed in the new gymnasium and bleacher seating will follow that, principal Autumn O’Bryan said during a recent tour of the facility.
O’Bryan praised the understated, light-colored wood selected for the arena’s playing court.
“The court will be outlined in Raider blue, but other court marks will be in natural colors,” she said.
