About

Body

The only Ice Arena in Champaign-Urbana, this facility offers a unique option for skating get-togethers from broomball and hockey to group skating parties. The University of Illinois Ice Arena was built in 1931, and Campus Recreation assumed management in 1977. The Ice Arena is a 55,000 square foot facility and is the only one in Champaign-Urbana. The dimensions of the rink are 192′ by 115′ with a 1,200 seat arena surrounding. There are four public locker rooms, four party areas, and two Zambonis in the facility.

"The Penalty Box"

Open daily from 8:30am until 30 minutes before close of building, "The Penalty Box" has a variety of drink and food options. We offer hot chocolate, coffee, fountain drinks, and more to quench your thirst. Snacks and concession items are also available. "The Penalty Box" is located next to the Customer Service Office.

Pro Shop

The Ice Arena Pro Shop is located at the Customer Service Office with an inventory of socks, winter gloves, hockey skate laces, mouth guards, hockey tape, combination locks, and hockey pucks.
