The sports center was expected to cost $30 million to build. The cost of construction was provided by a 3% hotel-room tax being charged throughout the Fox Cities region; this tax was also used to pay for the Fox Cities Exhibition Center.[3] It is expected to contribute around $8–12 million the Fox Cities economy, one of the fast-growing regions in the United States.[4]
The arena is located along County Highway GV just north of the Fox River Mall shopping district and less than .5 mi (0.80 km) west of Fox Cities Stadium. The new arena broke ground on September 18, 2018.[5] It opened in November 2019.[6][7][8]
The Center has 3 separate arena spaces with one being permanently set up with an ice rink and another 2 multi-purpose arenas which could handle court sports, concerts, or additional ice rinks.[9] The total capacity of all 3 arenas is expected to be between 3 and 4 thousand.
HistoryEdit
On January 23, 2019, the Center was the target of vandalism by a group of teenagers who also damaged other construction sites around the area as well as starting fires in elevators within parking ramps in downtown Appleton. The damage to the center was expected to cost over $1 million.[10]
On March 22, 2019, the Town of Grand Chute announced that the naming rights for the center were bought by Community First Credit Union; terms of the deal have not been released.[4]
