Plans are in place to showcase the past 50 years of Frost Arena in a designated, fan-interactive space within the renovated facility.

Capacity is set for 5,500 spectators in the renovated arena.
What’s the fundraising status of the project?

Once finalized, a comprehensive ticketing plan will be available for season ticket holders, Jackrabbit Club members, corporate sponsors and new supporters of the project. We also predict a seating reallocation to take place in either the spring of 2022 or 2023.Â
