点评:This was our first visit to the Rink at Fox Valley Ice Arena to watch a Chicago Steel match; there's nothing special about this venue, thought it has strong points. Though our seats were bleacher-style, we did enjoy the comfort and layout, them having backs to them. The atmosphere of the game was also fire. However, the A/V system definitely needs an upgrade, as well as the interior decorations of the walls and furnishings: it screams '80s and 90s. The facility is actually multi-purpose, which was popularized in the 1960's and '70's, so it can get confusing in today's times for those unfamiliar with the layout of the footprint. Also, the drive from virtually any point in the Chicagoland region can be lengthy and rangy. It is little wonder The NHL's Blackhawks (owners of The Chicago Steel USHL Club) have decided to uproot and move the team to Fifth-Third Arena near their home at The United Center beginning with the 2026-27 season.
翻译:这是我们第一次去福克斯谷冰球馆观看芝加哥钢铁队的比赛;这个场馆虽然也有一些优点,但并没有什么特别之处。我们的座位是阶梯式看台,但靠背的设计很舒适,我们很喜欢。比赛气氛也十分热烈。不过,这里的视听系统确实需要升级,墙壁和家具的内部装饰也需要改进:充满了上世纪八九十年代的风格。这个场馆实际上是多功能场馆,这种类型的场馆在上世纪六七十年代很流行,所以对于不熟悉场馆布局的人来说,现在可能会有点迷路。此外,从芝加哥地区的任何地方开车过来都可能比较漫长。难怪 NHL 的芝加哥黑鹰队(USHL 芝加哥钢铁队的拥有者)决定从 2026-27 赛季开始,将球队迁至靠近其主场联合中心的第五三银行体育馆。
