Face-off in Wesley Chapel

Last month news broke of a 150,000 sq. ft. ice arena to be built in Wesley Chapel at SR 56 & I-75. Laura Kinsler reports today in the Tampa Tribune that another ice venture is underway in Wesley Chapel on CR 54 across from Lexington Oaks. Kinsler reports that 13 acres are under contract with plans for a 115,000 sq. ft. facility with twin rinks, a seating capacity of up to 3,000 people and an estimated cost of $14 million. It's hard to believe that two similar venues are viable in Wesley Chapel, so the face-off is underway!
