3M Arena at Mariucci

Thirty years after the new 3M Arena at Mariucci first graced the campus of the University of Minnesota, fans and players alike still are amazed by the breathtaking beauty of a sold-out Mariucci and the atmosphere it provides. In 1993, the old Mariucci Arena, located in front of Williams Arena, took on a whole new face when it relocated just north of its old home. 3M Arena at Mariucci brought a new look to Golden Gopher hockey, not only from the outside, but inside as well.
