Mediacom Ice Park is a multi-purpose arena located in downtown Springfield, Missouri. The arena is owned and operated by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board[1] and serves as a location for community recreation and the home for the Missouri State Ice Bears ice hockey team,[2] Springfield Express junior hockey team, and various youth sports programs. The arena opened in 2001 and was previously known as the Jordan Valley Ice Park; its current name is due to a $200,000 a year, 10-year naming rights agreement with Mediacom, a cable television and communications provider in the United States.[3]
