"The new sports and cultural events venue has a capacity of 16,000 spectators, 12,000 seated and 4,000 standing, and is a centrepiece of a broader urban redevelopment project originally designed by Foster + Partners for Milano Santa Giulia, a district in the south-east of Milan, just a few kilometres from the city centre and connected to the high-speed rail network and motorway."
"the CEO of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026 stated on January 15 that the foundation was "very satisfied with the test event" and that the competition field had proven to be "up to the task." He also expressed satisfaction with spectator response and transport logistics; over 22,000 people attended the seven games played over three days, while acknowledging that "there is still a lot of work to be done on the arena in general.""
An elliptical ice hockey arena in Milan is in testing for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. The project was commissioned to Arup and David Chipperfield Architects in 2021, with initial images released in 2022 and construction beginning in 2023, scheduled for completion in 2025. The venue seats 12,000 with space for 4,000 standing, totaling 16,000 spectators. The arena anchors the Milano Santa Giulia redevelopment originally designed by Foster + Partners and sits near the city centre with high-speed rail and motorway connections. The venue hosted the Milano Hockey Finals as a test event amid concerns about ice management and remaining work.
