It's been more than six years since a commission looking into athletic finances at the University of Nebraska at Omaha first recommended building an on-campus arena for the Mavericks' signature hockey program.

And during much of the nearly four years since Trev Alberts was hired as UNO athletic director, he has worked with Chancellor John Christensen to champion such an ice palace, with little concrete to show.

But it's now clear the arena is no ice folly.....

.....To that end, Heritage Services decided in November that an on-campus multipurpose arena of 7,000 to 7,500 seats with an adjacent practice ice sheet is not only desirable for Omaha but would meet real community needs.

this will be their BB arena as well i presume? Nice looking facility, hopefully it will allow them to bring back at least wrestling in the near future.
