As of September 15, 2026, the more useful question is not whether … Read the rest

The Kalamazoo Indoor Facility has moved from planning to construction, but its grand opening remains a future milestone. The project broke ground on July 31, 2026, and the reported target is an October 2027 opening, after construction planned through fall 2027.

The available public record supports the main outline of the project, but it does not provide a full return-on-investment model. That makes a cautious reading necessary.
