I would have to say that after seeing Rochester Century's rink that is one of the nicest high school rinks that i have seen. Cloquet also had a nice one.

The old barn was awesome in its own right, but the new rink is so much better in every way.

The Torrey side is the better. And the only one that matters because I'm connected.
As far as only having one side with bleachers, I think it is mostly cost. The Rogers arena had a few troubles getting made when it came to $, I guess having 1/2 an arena is better than nothing.

I heard rumors the city of Rogers fired a couple police officers to make cap room so they could afford the ice arena. You heard any truth to that, Empire? Also didn't the tornado factor in the building of the new ice arena? Did they lose money on the first arena that went down?
