The Blue Cross arena also features occasional NCAA regular season hockey games featuring Western New York teams, most recently when the RIT Tigers men's team defeated the Cornell Big Red on October 27, 2007. Officially the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial, the arena also is home to the Rochester Razorsharks of the Premier Basketball League, the Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League, and the Rochester Raiders of the Continental Indoor Football League. The arena was built on a downtown site that is bordered by Broad Street on the north, the Genesee River on the east and Court Street on the south. The property was formerly the home of the Kimball Tobacco Co. and other retail buildings. The arena was opened on October 18, 1955, and named the Rochester Community War Memorial. It was constructed in the style that was popular in the 1950s. The building included a full stage on the south end and an exhibition hall located on the basement level. The first event was a public trade show held in the exhibition hall and featured such famous Rochester-based companies as Eastman Kodak, Haloid (now Xerox), Bausch & Lomb, General Railway Signal, and Rochester Products. It hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1956, the two-month finals of the American Bowling Congress tournament in 1966 and the 14th WWF "In Your House" pay-per-view in 1997. From 1996 to 1998, renovations to expand the arena took place. On September 18, 1998, the arena re-opened and was renamed The Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial. Rossetti Architects designed this multi-million dollar face-lift. Its maximum seating capacity is 12,428. For hockey and lacrosse, its seating capacity is 11,215.
