TheBroadmoor World Arena (originally known as theColorado Springs World Arena) inColorado Springs, Colorado is an 8,000 seat multi-purposearena and entertainment venue. The arena opened in 1998. In addition to the main arena, the adjacentIce Hall contains two practice rinks, one NHL-sized and one Olympic-sized.
The facility is home to world-class concerts and events, theBroadmoor Skating Club (BSC), numerous elitefigure skaters, and the Colorado Gold Speedskating Club. It was home to the US National Short Track Speedskating Team until the summer of 2007 when the team moved toUtah Olympic Oval. The World Arena also manages thePikes Peak Center, a performing arts center located in downtown Colorado Springs.
The building serves as a replacement for the originalBroadmoor World Arena, which opened in 1938. Demolished in 1994, it was the former home of the BSC andColorado Collegehockey programs and site of the first tenNCAA hockey championships.

It was originally named theColorado Springs World Arena. However, in April 2014, after an agreement with theAnschutz Entertainment Group, owners ofThe Broadmoor resort, it was formally renamed the Broadmoor World Arena.[9]
The arena hosted the1999,2000, and2001 editions ofSkate America.
From 2001 to 2005, thePBR, which at the time was headquartered in Colorado Springs, hosted aBud Light Cup (now theUnleash the Beast Series) event at this venue. After 2005, the PBR's headquarters relocated toPueblo, Colorado, thus halting the production of this event. However, this event was brought back to the World Arena in 2014 after a 9-year hiatus (though the PBR is still headquartered in Pueblo).
Prior to the opening ofEd Robson Arena in 2021, the arena hosted theColorado College Tigers men's ice hockey team of theNCHC.
