The Mennen Arena [9] was built in 1973 on land donated by the Mennen Company, now part of Colgate-Palmolive. It was opened to the public on January 12, 1975. At that time, the facility consisted of one indoor multi-purpose arena with artificial ice in place for most of the year.
A second ice surface was added in an expansion building in 1986 and a third surface added in 2002.[10]
