Dual rink facility and looks like it's gonna end up at 7,500 seats. I will maintain to my dying day that this is too small. Needs to seat at least 10,000 or so. For those that don't know it, UNO has averaged more than 7,500 per night throughout most years of the program's existence. We're buying what we can afford, I guess. At least this gives the school other revenue streams other than ticket sales, and the school does not even control all the seats in the CenturyLink Center as it is.
The price tag comes in at a cool $87.9 million dollars.
If anybody thinks they are staring down the gun barrel of a tougher schedule than UNO faces this season, I'm all ears (maybe some other NCHC brethren?):

We've already played our one and perhaps only gimme. Bentley, upcoming this weekend, is maybe the only other series we have that is on that same plane (with apologies to Falcon fans). Only the 3rd and 4th games, ever, between UNO and Bentley, whom UNO handily swept in Omaha in December of 2006.
Season opened last night with a 6-1 yawner against the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks. The Ooks had already played 6 games prior to last night. Started sloppy and UNO got better and better as the game wore on and by the end it was pretty one-sided.
