Metro Ice Arena was a 4,600-capacity, 34,000 square foot indoor arena located in Lansing, Michigan, United States. It hosted the International Hockey League's Lansing Lancers in the 1974–75 season.[1] The venue was converted to a movie theater in the early 1980s.[2]

Metro Ice Arena held a number of events during its time open, including rock concerts, public skating, hockey leagues, professional wrestling, and similar activities.[3]

As of 2019, an investment group purchased the property and has plans to host the Lansing City Futstal franchise and planned to turn the arena into a "one-stop destination for sports and entertainment."[4]
