Graham Arena Complex

Graham Arena Complex

Considering Minnesota is often referred to as the “State of Hockey”, Rochester is lucky to be one of only two cities in Minnesota with four rinks under one roof. A fourth rink was built in 2006 and provides the ideal championship setting for any youth tournament with a seating capacity of 1,000. Spectator areas, lobbies, restrooms, and locker rooms are also heated thanks to the heat produced by an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly ice refrigeration system.

The Graham Arena Complex is managed and operated by the Rochester Park & Recreation Department. The complex, consisting of four large arenas and over 100,000 square feet, is located at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds. The arenas are used for a variety of dry floor events year-round and ice skating events for ten months out of the year.
