Hardee's IcePlex was a 2,200-seat multi-purpose arena in Chesterfield, Missouri. At one time, the 115,000 square feet (10,700 m2) building was the largest ice skating facility in Missouri. The facility had two regulation NHL-size rinks (85’ x 200’) with 600-seat capacities each. The facility's main rink was a regulation Olympic-size rink (100’ x 200’) with a seating capacity of 2,200. The building also had a Total Hockey franchise, as well as a restaurant.

Hardee's IcePlex closed in May 2017, as the owner of the facility sold the property to Dallas-based Topgolf.[1]

History

[edit]

The facility opened in 1995 as the U.S. Ice Sports Complex. In 2002, it was bought by Summit Development and changed its name to Summit Center. On February 19, 2008, the name was changed to Hardee's IcePlex, reflecting the 7-year naming rights deal with Hardee's, a St. Louis-based fast food corporation.[2] In 2017, the property was bought by Topgolf and completely demolished.

Tenants

The facility was the home for local high school teams, an in house program, and the St. Louis AAA Blues. It was also used for public skating, figure skating, and junior hockey teams.
