First Interstate Bank Center is a 4,000-permanent seat indoor arena located in Redmond, Oregon, as part of the Deschutes County Expo Center. It is named for a regional bank which purchased naming rights to the arena's name. Originally, it was called the Bank of the Cascades Center, but that bank's acquisition by First Interstate BancSystem caused the change to the current name. Other seating capacities include 5,000 for basketball and up to 7,800 for concerts. It can also accommodate volleyball, motorsports, wrestling, indoor football (primarily the current Oregon Lightning AF1 team), conventions and trade shows. There is over 40,000 square feet of space on the arena floor with an additional 28,250 square feet on the arena concourse. Concession stands are placed on each end of the arena and ticket booths are located on each entrance.{{Cite web |url=https://expo.deschutes.org/expo/page/first-interstate-bank-center |title=First Interstate Bank Center at expo.deschutes.org |access-date=2013-11-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203023024/http://expo.deschutes.org/index.php/three_sisters_conference_center/details/bank_of_the_cascades_center |archive-date=2013-12-03 |url-status=dead }}
