The World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado is a 7,343-seat multi-purpose arena. The arena opened in 1997. In addition to the main arena, the adjacent Ice Hall contains two practice rinks, one NHL-sized and one Olympic-sized.

The facility is home to the Colorado College Tigers ice hockey team of the WCHA, the US National Short Track Speed Skating Team, the Broadmoor Skating Club, numerous elite figure skaters, and the Broadmoor Speedskating Club. The building serves as a replacement for the Broadmoor World Arena, the former home of the BSC and CC hockey programs and site of the first ten NCAA hockey championships, which was demolished in 1994.
