The Capitols announced Monday that the first four home games of the 2026-27 season, originally scheduled to be played at the new arena in DeForest, will instead by played at Bob Suter's LEGACY20 Arena in Middleton.
 
The change affects home games scheduled for October 17, October 23, October 24, and October 30.
 
Construction at the new arena in DeForest has taken longer than anticipated. While we know our fans have been looking forward to opening our new home, we want the first Capitols game in DeForest to deliver the experience our fans deserve. Rather than rush that first impression, we'll begin our home schedule with four more games in a building that has been home to so many Capitols memories.

If you already have tickets, your tickets are still good.
 
All tickets previously purchased for the four affected games will be honored for the corresponding games in Middleton.

The Promotions Are Coming With Us

The location may be changing, but the fun we have planned for these four nights is still on.
 
October 17 - Home Opener
Our first game of the season will now take place in Middleton. The Foo Foo Dolls pregame concert originally scheduled for October 17 will not take place that night. We are working with the band to find a new date later this season.
 
October 23 - $1 Beer Night presented by Coors Light
Yes, the beers are still $1. One of our biggest fan-favorite promotions remains on the schedule for October 23.
 
October 24 - Halloween Fest
Fall Fest is staying on the calendar with games, inflatables, food, and beverages available outside the arena for fans with tickets to that night's game.
 
October 30 - Wiener Dog Races
The wiener dogs are still racing! More than 30 dogs are already signed up to hit the ice for one of our favorite nights of the season.
