78,000 SF Multi-Sport Complex Proposed for Chesterfield Valley

78,000 SF Multi-Sport Complex Proposed for Chesterfield Valley

The Chesterfield Hockey Association (CHA) has announced its intention to build a 78,000 sf multi-sport facility on 12 acres in the Chesterfield Valley (full press release below). The idea was first floated in early 2016 immediately after the announcement that the Hardee’s Iceplex would close to make way for a Topgolf entertainment complex.

It is unclear how this project may impact recently unveiled plans to be a four-ice rink complex in Maryland Heights, which would double as the St. Louis Blues’ training facility. That project is being promoted by a group called the St. Louis Ice Legacy Foundation.

For Immediate Release

NEW SPORTS COMPLEX PROPOSED FOR CHESTERFIELD VALLEY

Chesterfield, MO — (February 2, 2017) — Chesterfield Hockey Association (“CHA”), a non-profit organization, announced today a plan to develop a new state-of-the-art ice and multi-sport facility on 12 acres of land between Chesterfield Airport Road and US 64/40 in Chesterfield, MO. The Chesterfield SportsComplex will be 78,000 square feet and is anticipated to include two (2) NHL-sized sheets of ice, locker rooms, team meeting rooms and offices as well as a restaurant/bar and pro shop. In an effort to grow and expand youth hockey within the St. Louis metropolitan market, the Chesterfield SportsComplex will replace the Hardees lceplex and become the new home of the Chesterfield Falcons hockey club.
