(DICE) announced the awarding of a $675,000 community attraction and tourism grant from the Vision Iowa Board that opened the way for the construction of a 66,000-square foot, 3,200-seat ice center on [[CHAPLAIN SCHMITT ISLAND]]. The center would be the home of the [[DUBUQUE FIGHTING SAINTS]]. The naming of the arena honored [[MYSTIQUE CASINO]] which donated $1 million to the fund drive.

	A combination of public and private resources completed the $7.1 million city-owned facility. Involved in the development were DICE, the city, [[DUBUQUE RACING ASSOCIATION]] and Battlefield Dubuque LLC which later transferred its interest to Northern Lights Hockey. (2) Volunteers raised all the money for the project. Private contributions eventually totaled all but $200,000 which came from the City. The project was headed by Brian Southwood, the assistant general manager of facilities at Mystique Casino, and [[WOODWARD, Frederick Robert "Bob", Jr.\|Frederick Robert "Bob" WOODWARD, Jr.]] In the final six weeks, volunteers also contributed hundreds of hours of physical labor to cut an estimated $100,000 from the total cost.

	On September 18, 2010 the completed center, managed by DICE, was opened for public inspection. The Center included two community rooms that could be rented for private events. The first floor room included a projector for presentations. From the second floor community room, spectators could watch practices or games. There are also private suite viewing areas. The building had 3,000 seats, eleven rows deep, with a ticketed capacity of 3,200.		On September 18, 2010 the completed center, managed by DICE, was opened for public inspection.

	City officials in March, 2022 proposed spending $6.6 million on repairs and improvements to the Center. The expenditures included stabilizing the building's foundation, purchasing a new generator, upgrading the dehumidification system, making safety improvements, remodeling the concession area and conducting a mechanical systems assessment. The foundation remediation project alone had originally been expected to cost $2 million. New estimates rose to $4.6 with the Center being closed from June through October. The project would include the installation of foundation pilings to stabilize the building. The entire ice rink's floor system would be removed for this work and then replaced. The Center had not had a budget to present since the city took over management of the operation from the nonprofit Dubuque Community Ice & Recreation Center Inc. I(DICE) in June 2021. DICE had managed the Center since its construction in 2009 at a cost of about $7 million. (8)		City officials in March, 2022 proposed spending $6.6 million on repairs and improvements to the Center.

			In June, 2022 the Ice Center closed temporarily until November for remediation of structural settling of the facility caused by the unstable soil on which it was constructed. Much of the rink and surrounding bleachers had been removed by June 18th. Work to drill a new foundation was scheduled to begin on June 20th. The cost of the project was estimated to be $4.6 million. Summer training and conditioning programs which had previously been held in the Center were moved to the floor of a room at [[HOLY TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH]]. (9)

	To maintain operations at the ice arena during the process, the City entered into an interim management agreement with DICE that allowed the City to take over on September 5, 2021.
