Hardee's IcePlex closed in May 2017, as the owner of the facility sold the property to Dallas-based Topgolf.[1]

History

edit

The facility opened in 1995 as the U.S. Ice Sports Complex. In 2002, it was bought by Summit Development and changed its name to Summit Center. On February 19, 2008, the name was changed to Hardee's IcePlex, reflecting the 7-year naming rights deal with Hardee's, a St. Louis-based fast food corporation.[2] In 2017, the property was bought by Topgolf and completely demolished.
