Crookston Civic Arena

The Crookston Civic Arena was an indoor arena located in Crookston, Minnesota. The arena opened in 1978. It has a capacity of 1,189 and contains a standard 200' x 85' ice sheet.  The arena served as the home for the Minnesota-Crookston Golden Eagles men's hockey team when they played in the NCAA from 1996 to 2009. The arena was built adjacent to the Winter Sports Arena which opened in 1937. Both arenas closed after the 2009-2010 playing season and were demolished in March of 2011.
The arenas were replaced by a three sheet facility called the Crookston Sports Center which opened in 2009. Despite the cancellation of the Golden Eagles varsity hockey program with the end of the 2008-09 season the university honored its' financial commitment to building the new facility.
