Mariucci Arena / 3M Arena at Mariucci | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the fall of 1993 the Gopher hockey team moved into their new home across the street from their old home, "The Barn" (now the Maturi Pavilion). On August 21, 1993 the Gophers introduced their new home to their fans by holding a special Hockey Alumni Legends Game. In 2017 Mariucci Arena was renamed to 3M Arena at Mariucci. In late March of 2023 construction began at 3M Arena at Mariucci to reduce the size of the ice sheet from the Olympic size of 200 x 100 down to a hybrid size of 200 x 89. Along with changing the size of the ice sheet, the refriguration system was upgraded, the boards and glass were replaced and the lighting in the arena was upgraded. All of these upgrades were successfully completed before the start of the next season. On February 9th and 10th 2024, the largest combined weekend attendance record was set at 21,310. This was a weekend series against Penn State that saw the Gophers win by duplicate 3-0 shutouts. The previous combined attendance record was 20,777 and was set on November 5th and 6th in 2004, when the Gophers defeated Wisconsin twice.
