Miskolc Ice Hall (Hungarian: Miksolci Jégcsarnok) is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Miskolc, Hungary. It is primarily used for ice sports and is the home arena of Hungarian top division ice hockey club Miskolci JJSE.
Construction[]
The Municipality of Miskolc decided in the summer of 2004 to build an ice rink in the People's Garden, next to the municipal . The initial plans were to cover the ice rink with awning at an estimated cost of 310 million Hungarian Forint (approximately US$1.5 million), thus the ice season could be extended. In 2005, however, the representative body of the local government voted for the construction of a multifunctional hall. The project cost was calculated for about 480 million Hungarian Forint (US$2.3 million), which eventually rose to 1.1 billion Hungarian Forint (US$5.3 million). The building and its unique wooden roof was designed by László Rostás and his architect group, Arc Építész Kft.[2]
Technical details[]
The arena has 1,800 m² ice surface which makes it suitable to host qualified international events. The ice surface can be covered with a moveable floor thus the multifunctional sports hall can arrange other sports and public events. The grandstand is divided to 10 sectors and has 1,304 seats and an additional 30-seats VIP box. The hall has a complete backroung service (dressing rooms, technical rooms, etc.) and is equipped with modern technical equipment. The ceiling-mounted lighting system can produce 1200–1400 Lux, which makes the arena suitable for television broadcasting.[2]
Opening[]
The technical acceptance procedure was completed on March 27, 2006, and the ice hall was opened for the public on April 2 with a show night, where among others Miskolc-born European Champion figure skater Júlia Sebestyén, and the local synchronized skating club performed. From April 3 to April 9, the arena hosted the 2006 IIHF World U18 Championship Division I.[3]
