The University of St. Thomas has released new renderings of the multi-use sports arena that is expected to open late next year.
The Lee and Penny Anderson Arena was announced more than a year ago and remains on track to open for the 2025-26 school year on St. Thomas’ South Campus, school leaders say. However, the university is now giving a new look at what the arena is expected to look like inside.
In addition to what fans can expect to see, the latest renderings show the locker rooms, training areas, weight rooms and tubs.
The release of the renderings comes on the same day the university put season tickets on sale for the upcoming basketball and hockey seasons. The university says season tickets for this season will secure fans’ seats in the new arena when it opens. [KSTP]

A neglected baseball stadium in Atlantic City is getting major upgrades and will soon be used for many other sports, officials said.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Monday, June 17 for the $5.6 million renovation to Pop Lloyd Stadium. The project will make the stadium playable for baseball, softball, T-ball, football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, as well as other sports and activities.
The renovations include adding blue artificial turf, along with new dugouts, locker rooms, bleachers, restrooms, lighting, fencing, and a scoreboard.
"Pop Lloyd Stadium has been in disrepair for quite some time, but we are turning it back into the treasure it was once," said Mayor Marty Small Sr. in a news release. "My vision is to not only keep the integrity of this historic baseball field, which is a fabric of Atlantic City’s past, but to turn it into a multisport complex our future generations can enjoy for decades to come.
