This is mainly in response to pjj365.
Read about the history of Centrum ice rink. You'll read many similarities. Such as a 10 yr build fraut with issues.
That ice rink, multi purpose, with gym, bar and shop lasted 6 yrs.
So yes in response to your comments there have been ice rinks built, commercial properties invested in to then see them close, stand empty or never open.
Look around Cardiff Bay there are a few.
