The Blue Arena at The Ranch Events Complex, located in Loveland, Colorado, is a 6,800-seat multi-purpose venue, which opened in September 2003, and is home to the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League
This multipurpose facility can host hockey, basketball, football, family shows in any configuration, rodeos, diverse concert settings in various capacities, trade shows, and several dozen setups to accommodate just about any event. The Blue Arena, less than an hour's drive from Denver and Cheyenne, has become the focal point for sports and entertainment in Northern Colorado.
The Blue Arena is part of a larger 374,000 square-foot fairground complex called The Ranch, which is the official name of the Larimer County Fairgrounds and Events Complex. Phase I of the project included 6 buildings and roughly 150 acres of site work. The ranch includes the Castorena's Equine Center, two livestock pavilions, the Origins Exhibition Building, and the Pederson Toyota Center. The Blue Arena and The Ranch have become the sports, entertainment, and agricultural hub for one of the fastest-growing areas in the country.
