Lindenwood has explored the possibility of acquiring the nearby 10,000-seat Family Arena in a proposed deal that would give Saint Charles County the museum and property of the Daniel Boone Home owned by the university in exchange for the arena.[7] Although the President of the university stated that the option hasn't been ruled out in the future.[8] Lindenwood currently uses the Family Arena for convocation events.[9]
