$17M entertainment center opens in Mill Creek, WA

Arena Sports celebrates the grand opening of its $17 million MG2-designed indoor soccer and entertainment complex

Arena Sports yesterday held a grand opening for its $17 million indoor soccer and entertainment complex in Mill Creek at 13500 Bothell-Everett Highway.

The 98,000-square-foot building houses three indoor soccer fields and things that Arena Sports’ four other locations don’t have: a family entertainment center with bowling alley, two-story laser tag arena, video arcade, inflatable playground and restaurant.

“We had more than 2 million visitors last year at our other four locations combined. With all the extra amenities, we expect over a million visitors annually at our new Mill Creek location,” said Don Crowe, CEO of Arena Sports, in a news release. “We anticipate a significant portion of our business to be parties and special events. Research shows people will drive farther for a premier party destination, so we pulled out all the stops to make this new space extraordinary.”

The facility has opened in stages, with soccer classes and leagues starting in October, followed by the entertainment center last month and the upstairs party area and community meeting room last week.

Dahlgren Industrial was the general contractor and MG2 the architect. Pinnacle Indoor Sports was in charge of sports facility design and construction consulting.
