Minnesota Hockey Hall of Fame Selects Inver Grove Heights for New Complex
The $70 million, 120,000-square-foot complex will celebrate Minnesota hockey and feature multiple rinks, a museum, and event spaces, with construction starting in summer 2026.
- On Wednesday, officials announced the Minnesota Hockey Hall of Fame will be built in Inver Grove Heights, Minn., with construction set to begin next year and a grand opening slated for late 2028.
- Planners proposed a $70 million complex encompassing more than 120,000 square feet focused specifically on hockey in Minnesota, including an NHL-sized ice arena and auditorium.
- After a closed session, the council approved buying 46.43 acres of the Ace In The Hole parcel for $8.725 million on a voice vote with one member opposed.
- The project places a major hockey attraction in a Dakota County suburb of around 36,000, shifting some attention from Eveleth, Minn., home of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame for more than 50 years.
- Plans were first announced late last summer with renderings released in August and prominent figures like Natalie Darwitz and Lou Nanne attached, while MNHHOF leaders said the project drew an `outpouring of support` statewide.
