Originally opened in 2017, the facility has been undergoing extensive renovations since May 2024, emerging as a premier destination for sports, entertainment and community engagement throughout Chicago.
When complete in January 2026, the venue will boast more than 250,000 total square feet of community hockey space, state-of-the-art training facilities, and versatile areas for the best athletes in the world, rising stars and the next generation of players. The facility remains the official training home to the Chicago Blackhawks and will also become the permanent home of the Chicago Steel – the region’s highly successful United States Hockey League (USHL) team, which was acquired by Wirtz Corporation in 2023.
“Through the Fifth Third Arena expansion, we are creating the epicenter of hockey in the Midwest,” said Danny Wirtz, Chairman & CEO of the Chicago Blackhawks. “This venue is where NHL superstars train alongside rising talent, creating an environment where championship dreams can take flight.”
The expansion transforms Fifth Third Arena from a hockey facility into a versatile venue that seamlessly hosts events of all sizes. This cutting-edge adaptability makes the arena a dynamic destination for year-round programming.
