2020, BB&T merged with SunTrust, with the merged company renaming itself Truist. However, the arena continued to bear the BB&T name because Truist did not start rebranding its Kentucky locations with the new corporate name until late 2021. The Truist name was adopted for the arena shortly after the 2021–22 basketball season, taking effect on April 5, 2022. Tenants Beginning in spring of 2011, Truist Arena was home to the Northern Kentucky River Monsters of the Ultimate Indoor Football League. After the season, the River Monsters agreed to part ways with the UIFL. The UIFL still had rights to place a team in the arena, so there will be an expansion team placed there, the Kentucky Monsters. Truist Arena has also played host to the Black-n-Bluegrass Roller Girls since 2012. The home dates for the league in 2012 were: May 19, June 16, July 21, August 18, September 22, and October 20. The Cincinnati Bearcats from the University of Cincinnati played their home games at what was then BB&T Arena during the 2017–18 season while Fifth Third Arena underwent renovations.
