UK basketball to remain in Rupp Arena through 2033

The University of Kentucky and the Lexington Center Corporation announced Thursday they have executed a “right of use agreement” that will keep the Wildcats in Rupp Arena through 2033. The current lease agreement expires this year, but the new deal allows men’s basketball and other events to continue in the facility for the next 15 years. Kentucky has played at Rupp Arena since it opened in 1976.
