In this Discovery Channel video, Wim Hof doesn’t seem to be missing any vitamins (but maybe a bit of sanity).

After decades of debate over a Downtown arena, Evansville opened its doors to the gleaming new Ford Center in late October. The guided tour in our feature story, “The Ford Center,” hits all the high points of the 290,000-square-foot facility that broadens Evansville’s skyline and promises economic growth. This 2006 ESPN article shows how a new-and-improved stadium can move a city forward.
