Yesterday it was announced that the arena will be a regional site host for the 2019 NCAA Women's basketball tournament. That would be 4 teams, some player's families, and the team fans all needing hotel rooms.
The same week, the NCAA Men's basketball games will be held at the United Center, with those 4 teams, fans and families also needing hotel rooms.
That's a pretty good indication that this project is complementary to the existing facilities in Chicago and may even have been a good investment by the city.
