Financing Your Arena Project
It is important to remember, in principle, that a hockey arena should be located fairly centrally in an urban environment, to attract as many users as possible. Further, it is worth noting that ice hockey is not the only activity which can take place in an ice rink. It is also suitable for figure skating, short track, free skating, and other games played on ice. The ice surface can also be covered and the space can be used for other sports or entertainment purposes. These are all ways to maximize use and supplement income in a hockey arena. To keep finances under control, remember to build economically, watch the operating expenses, and focus on developing several revenue streams.
