Construction is underway on a $1.5 million indoor baseball and softball field house in Mountain View, with completion expected in spring or summer 2027. The Anchorage Wolverines junior hockey team has moved into Sullivan Arena as an official tenant, with the 2024-25 season set to begin there.

Wolverines Settle Into Sullivan Arena

The Anchorage Assembly approved a $2.89 million contract for All In 49, LLC to manage George M. Sullivan Arena for the upcoming period. This arrangement positions the junior hockey club for its 2024-25 season in the downtown venue, providing a dedicated home after previous arrangements.

UAA Hockey Returns to Campus Rink

The University of Alaska Anchorage hockey team is returning to the on-campus Avis Alaska Sports Complex due to state budget cuts, playing in a 750-seat rink instead of Sullivan Arena. The move keeps the program at its former Wells Fargo Sports Complex site and alters travel and game-day logistics for the season.

Field House Project Advances in Mountain View

Work on the new indoor baseball and softball facility in Mountain View continues toward a 2027 opening. The project adds year-round training space for local teams and programs operating outside the winter hockey calendar.

Chester Creek Revitalization Proposal Under Review

A group is pitching a $35 million plan to revitalize the Chester Creek Sports Complex, which includes relocating and rebuilding Mulcahy Stadium to provide land for housing and retail. The proposal remains in discussion and could reshape multi-sport use of the site in future seasons.

These facility changes will shape team operations and scheduling through the 2024-25 period and beyond. Observers can follow updates through municipal assembly records and team announcements as dates approach.
