New Signs at Visions Federal Credit Union Veterans Memorial Arena
The Arena in downtown Binghamton looks a bit different with the installation of temporary signage with its new official name.
The building across from the Governmental Plaza has been known as the Visions Federal Credit Union Veterans Memorial Arena for the past couple of months.
Maines Paper and Food Service acquired naming rights for the venue in 2014. The company went out of business last year and its contract for the Arena name expired.
