BankCorp South Arena
375 East Main St
Tupelo, MS 38804
Opened: October 9, 1993
BancorpSouth Arena, originally known as Tupelo Coliseum and then BancorpSouth Center, now called Cadence Bank Arena, is a 10,000 seat multi-purpose arena, near downtown Tupelo, Mississippi, named for the locally based BancorpSouth, a large multi-state commercial banking company.

It was the home of the Tupelo FireAnts and Mississippi MudCats arena football and the Tupelo T-Rex ice hockey teams. It was also the home of the Mississippi Hound Dogs of the Ultimate Indoor Football League.

The $16 million, 32,000 square foot (3,000 m²) facility was built in 1993, and is one of the more modern arenas, serving a small market in the Mid-south. Its lot was previously occupied by a shopping mall called Downtown Mall. When the mall closed in 1990 the arena was retrofitted from the old building.

The arena also seats 8,000 for sports events, ranging from basketball to rodeos.
