Two years have passed since it was first rumored that a professional hockey team may be headed to the Coachella Valley. Since then, the American Hockey League has officially named the valley the home of the new Seattle Kraken NHL affiliate and a $250 million arena has been approved for construction by Riverside County.
Groundbreaking for the arena is Wednesday, June 2.
The arena will be built on 43.35 acres of unincorporated leased land owned by the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, adjacent to Classic Club golf course north of Interstate 10 near Palm Desert.
The arena, which will be privately funded by Los Angeles-based sports and entertainment company Oak View Group, is expected to be completed within 17 months, with a goal of being finished prior to the start of the hockey season in October 2022.
However, County Supervisor V. Manuel Pérez on Monday said he was requesting that any decision be postponed to May 5 to allow Palm Desert to review a traffic study and other documents.
Pérez participated in a virtual town hall meeting Monday afternoon that was hosted by Palm Desert’s mayor. It included representatives of Oak View Group, the Los Angeles-based sports and entertainment company that wants to build the arena, who answered questions and addressed concerns of residents.
“I am 100% fully behind this project,” Pérez said. While
the arena is proposed to be built on land in the unincorporated area of Thousand Palms and thus falls under the purview of county planners
