BOISE, Idaho - Qwest Arena, located in downtown Boise and home of the Idaho Steelheads and Idaho Stampede, is becoming CenturyLink Arena Boise.

For us, this is more than having our name on the building. It?s about continuing to build upon our strong partnership with Block 22 and the people of Boise and surrounding area.? ?CenturyLink's commitment to our community is clearly demonstrated today,? said Block 22 President John Cunningham. ?Qwest has been a dedicated partner and we are pleased that CenturyLink is maintaining the relationship as their company grows and evolves. We look forward to continuing on this journey with them.? CenturyLink Arena has seating for 5,000 people, including 39 suites and the SportZone restaurant and sports bar that overlook the arena. The arena is the home of the 2004 and 2007 ECHL National Champion Idaho Steelheads, the 2008 NBA Development League champion Idaho Stampede and the Xtreme Fight Series (XFS) Mixed Martial Arts.
