The IceArium |
|
|
Tennessee Hockey headed west in 2003
with the construction of the IceArium in the Farragut community in
West Knox County, a multimillion dollar first-class venue. The IceArium is a 50,000 square foot multipurpose ice facility located in western Knox County. Aside from serving as a home for the Tennessee Ice Vols, the IceArium offers a variety of activities for Knoxvillians including public skating, skating classes, curling, broomball, and figure skating, as well as hosting Knoxville Youth Hockey, High School Hockey, Men's League Hockey, and numerous select camps and hockey skills camps. Completed in 2002, the IceArium's main rink area features a climate-controlled NHL regulation-size rink (200' X 85'), four locker rooms, 3 hospitality areas, a full-service pro shop, and a spacious concessions area featuring a variety of foods and beverages for our fans. The IceArium is also one of the few rinks in the country to have a new electric Zamboni, ensuring quieter intermissions and healthier air for our spectators. An expansion plan is now underway, doubling the size of the facility, which will now also include a roller hockey rink, indoor soccer facility, and sports bar. Included in the renovation plans are upgrades to the Ice Vols' locker room, and expansion of the seating area in the main rink.

James P.White Civic Coliseum |
|
|
The Ice Vols have played several
exhibition games and one-off games at the Coliseum since 1967, but
the Coliseum became the permanent home of the team as pro hockey
returned to Knoxville in 1992. The Ice Vols readily enjoyed crowds numbering in
the thousands at the Coliseum during the mid 90's. Tennessee
still plays a select few games at the Coliseum despite moving their
permanent home to the IceArium in 2002.
The Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum is located on Hall of Fame Drive in East Knoxville convenient to the center of downtown activity. Conventions, trade shows, and special events keep the building busy year-around. The Coliseum is home to the SPHL's Knoxville Ice Bears and Tennessee Hockey. The Coliseum also hosts an annual circus and numerous concerts and wrestling events. Since the Ice Vols last stint at the Coliseum, a renovation project has updated the facility with new lighting, restrooms, locker rooms, and a new ticket office. The flexibility of the complex allows seating for conventions of up to 6,900 and more for special events. The Auditorium-part of the facility has theatre-style seating for 2,500 and houses Broadway plays, the Knoxville Symphony, Knoxville Ballet, and classical concerts. The spacious parking facilities accommodate 2,500 vehicles and are located adjacent to Knoxville's interstate system. ALL-TIME COLISEUM RECORD 26-19-3

The Knoxville Ice Chalet |
|
|
The venue of the Ice Vols first game
ever, and the team's home for over 20 years; the Ice Chalet was
considered both the best and worst home rink in the country by
many. With its short ice, and wire mesh boards, the Chalet wreaked
havoc with opponents. Visiting teams also had to contend with a
rabid following of hundreds of raucous fans crammed into the tiny public
skating facility. The
early days at the Ice Chalet have been compared by many to a giant
wild party, rivaled only by the University of Kentucky's Lexington
