Plans for UW ice arena put on hold

March 3, 2010 By WRN Contributor

UW-Madison has postponed plans to build a $25 million ice arena next to the Kohl Center. Athletic Director Barry Alvarez says the fundraising drive is two million short of its $8 million goal to start construction. Alvarez says the project will move forward when more progress is made on the fundraising drive.

UW Men’s Hockey Coach Mike Eaves is disappointed, but acknowledges it is difficult for people to contribute during the down economy.

The new building would serve as a competition and practice facility for the women’s hockey team and a practice area for the men’s team. Included as well would be locker and team rooms for the hockey and swimming programs.

Construction was to begin this spring, with a completion date of 2012.
