She has been a staple for the Gulfcoast since the 60s.
The new one should be built in two years. Bigger and better!

They want to bring ice hockey back. But biloxi and pensacola already have teams period I don't see how it would last.

In theory, not a ton of people in Mobile are traveling an 70-80 minutes for a minor league hockey game so I don’t see Pensacola/Biloxi as having teams being an issue with mobile getting their own team

With that said, original team was ECHL. The proposed team is way down on the totem pole. Below Pensacola but on par with Biloxi. No way it can fill up the place (think I read 10k seats).

No one cares about anything other than the tide here. Unless a ton of Yankees moved down and are hockey fans, I don’t see it. The venue has other uses obviously

No way in hell it’ll be done in time. They haven’t even finalized the plans yet. Hopefully the finished project will be done timely and near budget but I have serious doubts
