History
The building was originally constructed in 1963 as a Dayton's department store. In 2005, Dayton's was renamed Macy's. After the departure of Macy's from the building in 2013, the St. Paul Port Authority purchased the building and partnered with the Minneapolis-based Hempel Properties to convert the former department store into a six-level commercial destination and parking ramp.[1] On December 22, 2016, the Minnesota Wild signed a lease for a rink and practice facility on the roof of the building. The Wild was the first tenant at the new development.[2] In April 2017, the ground was broken on the rooftop arena that would serve as a practice facility for the Wild.[3] In early 2017 it was announced that TRIA Orthopedic Center has acquired the naming rights to the rooftop arena.[4]
TRIA rink opened on January 10, 2018.[5]
The arena held the 3rd NWHL All-Star Game on February 11, 2018. Later it was announced that the Minnesota Whitecaps would enter the NWHL and that TRIA Rink would serve as the team's home.[6] The arena later served as the venue for the 2019 Isobel Cup Final between the Whitecaps and the Buffalo Beauts. The game won by the Whitecaps.
