City staff have tabled a report to city council proposing four options for the Sudbury Community Arena, including status quo repairs, renovation, a new standalone events centre, and a new events centre as part of a larger downtown redevelopment
A long-awaited municipal report has been tabled, revealing the latest-known condition of the Sudbury Community Arena and proposing four options.
“It was built in a period of the city’s history when it was experiencing post-war economic success and community expectations were high for public services that supported the city’s growth and quality of life,” city strategic initiatives, communications and citizen services executive director Ian Wood wrote in his report to city council.
The existing building doesn’t have enough space to increase seating to its desired capacity, according to Wood’s report. It currently has 4,610 fixed seats and a total capacity of 5,100 during performance events with floor seating. Hockey Canada reported in April that a desired seating total is in the range of 7,000 for championship events.
In his report, Wood notes that a new build, whether it be standalone or as part of a larger downtown development, will best meet or exceed city council’s goals around such things as accessibility, event viewing experience and event attraction.
