The Woodman's Sports & Convention Center (commonly known as the Woodman's Center) is an 140,000-square foot indoor arena under construction in Janesville, Wisconsin. Currently scheduled to open in 2025, the Woodman's Center is set to include a 1,500 seat permanent ice arena to be the new home of the Janesville Jets of the North American Hockey League,[3] a 250-seat multi-purpose arena and the 25,800-square foot Robert and Delores Kennedy Conference Center.
Naming rights were purchased by Janesville-based supermarket chain Woodman's Markets, in a 20-year deal that activates in July of 2025.[4]
