  • On my first visit to this ice arena, I was impressed given the age of the building. Unlike many of the newer ice arenas which resemble metal barns with domed celings from the outside, this place has the look of one of the many university buildings on the U of I campus where it is located. Once inside, you enter a large lobby area with benches and lockers. This is where the skaters hang out between events. It provides a warm place to stay out of the cold of the ice arena between events. For many ice arenas, this kind of place simply does not exist. Often the skaters hang out in dingy, meat-locker type settings when there's a competition. Here, the skaters could spread out their stuff, relax, read, play chess or get a snack. The concession stand is well-equipped with chips, popcorn, giant soft pretzels, cheesy nachos and hot dogs. They have a great selection and are reasonably priced too. However, the place can be overrun and with only one person typically staffing the counter, the line can be long. If they would get a second person during peak times, I think they would be able to get even more sales, since some people will not wait for that long to order something. As for the ice itself, it held up remarkably well for the Land of Lincoln speedskating tournament. The rink is nice and wide, which gives skaters a wide outer perimeter on turns when racing laps. The corridors around the rink are narrow, but not too crowded since most of the skaters stay in the lobby till their race is up. The viewing area seating is above, lined with rows of benches, where you can sit and look down on the ice. It is high up and provides a pretty unobstructed view of the rink, even from the back row. The design of this building really works well and it makes me wish more ice venues were built in a similar way.
