新潟市アイスアリーナ, Indoor ice sports complex in Niigata, Japan.
The Niigata Ice Arena contains two separate rinks: a main surface meeting international standards for figure skating and ice hockey, and a secondary rink dedicated to curling. Each rink operates independently, allowing multiple sports to function at the same time.
The facility expanded through a partnership with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, which incorporated the MGC prefix into its official name. This collaboration enabled significant upgrades and improved the venue's operational capabilities.
The arena organizes regular junior ice hockey schools and family curling workshops to introduce local residents to winter sports throughout all seasons.
The venue is accessible daily and fees vary by age and sport type. Equipment rental is available on-site, and the building is specially temperature-controlled to enable year-round ice sports activities.
The building uses a liquid carbon dioxide cooling system that reduces emissions compared to conventional ice rink refrigeration. This method is more environmentally friendly and supports sustainable operations.
