The building features adjustable lighting and energy-efficient guidelines around the perimeter of the Iron Trail Motors Event center that changes based on the teams playing. A walking path around the perimeter has windows that look out into the surrounding vicinity. The second-floor houses community workout spaces, offices for the Parks and Recreation Department, a dryland room for hockey training, restrooms, and storage and mechanical space. Both arenas have skate rental bathrooms, spacious Zamboni maintenance and storage rooms, tickets space, locker rooms, bathrooms, and concessions.
“We’ve been looking for new ways to get more involved in our area and are excited to announce our partnership with the city as the naming sponsor of the brand-new Iron Trail Motors Event Center. Our community has made a big investment in this project, one that is sure to become the focal point for activity in our region. We wanted to support this endeavor now and into the future as a way of giving back to a community that has supported Iron Trail Motors through the years,” shared Brian Schacht, General Manager of Iron Trail Motors.
