Partially correct, The SEC isn't the main plan for conventions, it was/is the main plan to have a place large enough for concerts, monster trucks, indoor rodeos, etc. Some people have tried to turn it into a convention/meeting hall building and calling it a Special Events Center.

That came from page two of the agreement. |
"with an additional approximately 10,000 square feet of dividable meeting/conference space"
Big emphasis on additional. 10,000 sq. ft. isn't going to be the main area of the SEC, it is what it says an "additional" afterthought.
