The Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) provided the Independent with this photo of grading machinery on the land being leased by the Oak View Group for the construction of a new 10,000 seat arena. The Coachella Valley has been teased with the promise of a new, 10,000-seat arena since June 2019, when the Oak View Group announced it would be partnering with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to build the sports and entertainment venue in downtown Palm Springs. However, the pandemic changed those plans. The partnership with Agua Caliente dissolved, and the Oak View Group announced last September that the arena would instead be built just north of the Palm Desert city line near the intersection of Cook Street and Varner Road, right next to the Interstate 10 freeway, on land owned by the H.N.

The facility will now be known as Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena. Previously known as the UMBC Event Center, Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena opened in February 2018. Six weeks later, the UMBC men’s basketball team celebrated its remarkable NCAA Tournament victory before frenzied supporters on its hardwood floor. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams and the Retriever volleyball team compete in the state-of-art facility. Additionally, all 400-plus UMBC student-athletes regularly utilize the building’s academic, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, and other athletics’ department services. Oak View Group Facilities manages and operates Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena, securing and scheduling concerts, family shows, conventions, trade shows, all UMBC commencement ceremonies, and community events such as cheerleading competitions, career and job fairs, and more. In just three short years, OVG Facilities has entertained over 400,000 people at more than 300 events in the venue. OVG Facilities, in partnership with many of the top concert promoters and live content providers, helped bring Bob Dylan, Shinedown, for King and Country, the Avett Brothers, The Millennium Tour, Rob Thomas, all sold out performances, as well as the late Charlie Daniels, Travis Tritt and The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters to UMBC.

  • What Is the Environmental Impact?
    What is the environmental impact? desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2021/04/12/coachella-valley-hockey-arena-what-environmental- impact/7099195002 ENVIRONMENT What impact would the new Coachella Valley hockey arena have on the environment? Janet Wilson Palm Springs Desert Sun When Oak View Group, the would-be developer of a $250 million Coachella Valley hockey and entertainment arena, moved the project from Palm Springs to a spot along Interstate 10 near Palm Desert last year, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Downtown Palm Springs residents would be spared thousands of cars potentially clogging city streets. The owner of the new site, the H.N. and Frances Berger Foundation, won the major tenant it had long sought for the unincorporated Riverside County land. And OVG got a location that already had comprehensive environmental approvals from Riverside County, critical to its timeline to build the event complex for the 2022-23 American Hockey League season. But a potential monkey wrench has emerged again. Concerns are being raised about traffic, air pollution, wildlife and the water and electricity it will take to keep two ice rinks — one for games and one for practice — chilled in blazing summer heat. "Don't we have enough arenas?" said Robert Terry, co-founder of People Over Pollution and a Desert Hot Springs resident. "It's unnatural ... a desert environment could make much better use of our precious water than taking it to use for ice hockey." This week, with final approval votes by county planning commissioners and supervisors looming, a group called Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility submitted hefty comments to officials, contending that traffic traveling to and from games and concerts would produce illegally high levels of unhealthy smog and soot, and carcinogenic diesel fumes.
