M&T Bank Center
Hockey Ticket/Venue Information
Beginning in 2025-26, the Union College men's and women's hockey teams will begin a new era in their new home, the M&T Bank Center. The city of Schenectady broke ground for the arena on May 13, 2024, with the arena set to open in time for the 2025-26 college hockey season.
Located a short walk from campus across Erie Boulevard at Mohawk Harbor, the $50 million project features a 2,200-seat ice hockey rink with capacity expanding to 3,600 for other sporting events, trade shows, special events and conventions. The nearly 100,000-square-foot arena is located near hotels, restaurants and other retail establishments, making it more inviting for fans and visiting teams.
The new facility will provide many of the amenities needed for and expected by both current and potential student-athletes at the Division I level. Student-athletes will enjoy upgraded locker rooms and lounges for both teams as well as dedicated strength and conditioning and athletic training spaces.
The new facility will offer expanded concession options as well as suites and a private hospitality area from which fans can enjoy the action on the ice. In addition, the building will house a Union Athletics spirit shop for all the latest Union hockey gear.
