The facility is home to world-class concerts and events, the Broadmoor Skating Club (BSC), numerous elite figure skaters, and the Colorado Gold Speedskating Club. It was home to the US National Short Track Speedskating Team until the summer of 2007 when the team moved to Utah Olympic Oval. The World Arena also manages the Pikes Peak Center, a performing arts center located in downtown Colorado Springs.
The building serves as a replacement for the former Broadmoor World Arena, the former home of the BSC and CC hockey programs and site of the first ten NCAA hockey championships, which was demolished in 1994.
History
It was originally named the Colorado Springs World Arena. However, in April 2014, after an agreement with the Anschutz Entertainment Group, owners of The Broadmoor resort, it was formally renamed the Broadmoor World Arena.[9]
The arena hosted the 1999, 2000, and 2001 editions of Skate America.
From 2001 to 2005, the PBR, which at the time was headquartered in Colorado Springs, hosted a Bud Light Cup (now the Unleash the Beast Series) event at this venue. After 2005, the PBR's headquarters relocated to Pueblo, Colorado, thus halting the production of this event. However, this event was brought back to the World Arena in 2014 after a 9-year hiatus (though the PBR is still headquartered in Pueblo).
Prior to the opening of Ed Robson Arena in 2021, the arena hosted the Colorado College Tigers men's ice hockey team of the NCHC.
