Henderson, Nev. - It's a golden night in Henderson after the Mayor and Council unanimously approved a lease agreement with the Vegas Golden Knights to build and operate an indoor ice hockey facility in downtown Henderson.
The Henderson hockey facility will be built on 3.2 acres at the southwest corner of Water Street and Atlantic Avenue, adjacent to Henderson City Hall on a site currently occupied by the Henderson Convention Center, which will be demolished this summer. The new facility is tentatively scheduled for completion by July 2020 with an estimated construction cost of $25 million.
"The City's partnership with the iconic Vegas Golden Knights will be a catalyst for business investment and social activity in Henderson's burgeoning downtown area," said Mayor Debra March. "The team already has a huge fan base in Henderson and their presence in our community will actively engage residents and the next generation of players in the sport of hockey."
Proposed facility amenities include two National Hockey League regulation-size ice rinks, retail space, a full-service restaurant overlooking the ice and Water Street, and approximately 5,000 square feet of meeting space. The project will expand the recreational facilities available to the community through youth and adult hockey programs and leagues, youth and adult figure skating programs, free hockey play and open skate events, tournaments, and camps for hockey and figure skating. The facility will also be home to five official watch parties annually and host player and team executive appearances.
