Pacers Sports and Entertainment and Noblesville officials provided an advance tour of the arena July 30. It will officially open Aug. 8 for Mayor Chris Jensen's State of the City Address, followed by a ribbon-cutting.
The Boom, formerly the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, will play 25 home games at the $79 million, 3,400-seat arena that will also host concerts, sports tournaments and conventions. It has 100 suite seats and private rooms for other events.
The first concert will be Aug. 23 with the Pink Floyd tribute band, Signs of Life: The American Pink Floyd. On Sept. 26, the 'I Love The 90's Tour" will come to the arena. It features performances by Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Young MC and Naughty by Nature.

'The aim as Celtic boss is always to dominate'
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is again targeting domestic domination with style as the champions prepare to begin their title defence against St Mirren. Rodgers was a penalty shoot-out defeat against Aberdeen away from completing his third treble as Celtic boss last season after finishing 17 points clear of Rangers. A new challenge awaits in terms of a Rangers side under new ownership and new leadership in the form of head coach Russell Martin. However, Rodgers said: "The aim as a Celtic manager is always to dominate every competition. "We obviously have qualification for the Champions League that we want to arrive into, and we want to be really competitive in that competition if we arrive there. "That was our idea last year. Nothing changes. You add that to the pressures here at Celtic, it's always about not just winning, but winning in a style of football. "That's always the pursuit of the teams here, to play attacking, aggressive football."

Real Madrid reject €75 million offer for key midfield star
The one position Real Madrid see to be in need of reinforcement but have not strengthened this summer is the defensive midfield, a department where they have been linked with Angelo Stiller, Rodri, Martin Zubimendi and others. Manager Xabi Alonso sees the pivot position to be one where the squad lacks a natural ball player and a controlling presence. As it stands, Aurelien Tchouameni is the only natural profile in the position and is thus expected to have a big role in the new season. Real Madrid's tactics in the FIFA Club World Cup spoke volumes about the importance of the defensive midfield position in Alonso's plans as Tchouameni served as the focal point in the buildup and effectively a third centre-back. Not for sale As relayed in a recent report by Fichajes, Alonso and Real Madrid see Tchouameni to be untransferable for any price in the current transfer market and will not sanction his departure at any cost. Tchouameni will not be sold. (Photo by) The manager sees the player to be a vital part of his plans and thus does not contemplate a sale in any capacity despite interest arriving from the Premier League – possibly from Arsenal. The report further reports that the offer from England reportedly included a transfer fee of €75 million – a sum that is significant in the current market dynamics. Even that sum, however, was not enough to make the club consider a sale as Real Madrid do not wish to part ways with him this summer. Tchouameni, for his part, is happy at the club and is eager to continue his relationship with Real Madrid for the years to come. He wishes to compete only at the highest level, something he believes he can only do at the best club in the world.
