Overview

  • The municipality applied for the environmental permit in June 2025, marking a key step toward replacing the outdated rink.
  • Construction will begin in spring 2026 on nearly the same site, with completion slated between late 2027 and autumn 2028 and reuse of the current hall’s main supporting structure.
  • The new hall will be energy-neutral and gasless by harnessing residual heat from its refrigeration systems to meet Amsterdam’s climate targets.
  • A phased build plan guarantees that the existing rink remains open throughout construction, preserving continuous public skating access.
  • Interior finishes will reflect the Amsterdam Tigers’ identity, and space is reserved for a potential second ice hall to accommodate growing demand.
