Woodbury Approves Champions Hall Athletics Facility
The Woodbury City Council on Oct. 22 unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing the conversion of an existing roughly 238,000‑square‑foot building at 11435 Hudson Road into "Champions Hall," a multi‑sport indoor complex with hard‑court basketball and volleyball courts, a regulation‑sized turf field, three lacrosse training fields and supporting facilities.
City staff member Eric Searles (identified in the meeting as the project presenter) said the building was originally constructed for warehouse or e‑commerce use and remains vacant; the applicant proposes to repurpose the space to activate existing parking and reduce the building’s vacancy. Searles said the application was for a commercial recreation use over 5,000 square feet and noted staff’s traffic review concluded no additional roadway improvements were necessary for anticipated activity levels.
