WATERTOWN, S.D.–Watertown Mayor Ried Holien has said when a new two sheet ice arena opens in the city next year, he wants it to be a multi-use facility that can host more than just hockey games or figure skating competitions.

Previously mentioned possibilities were trade shows or even concerts.

City Manager Amanda Mack (pictured) says concerts are unlikely, and explains why…

This week, the city approved a consulting contract with a Twin Cities firm that will help them draw up management plans for the arena once it opens.
