New Haven Arena, demolished 1974

New Haven Arena was an indoor arena on Grove Street in New Haven, Connecticut, that served as a venue for ice hockey, concerts, and circuses.

The first arena opened in 1914 but burned down in 1924.[1] The new arena was built in 1926 by Nathan Podoloff with his father and two brothers[2] and held over 4,000 people.

The Arena hosted the American Hockey League's New Haven Eagles from 1936 to 1951, the New Haven Blades of the Eastern Hockey League from 1954 to 1972 and Yale Hockey from 1914 to 1917 (at the first Arena) and from 1927 to 1959.[1] The Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Joan Baez, the Supremes, the Temptations and many music icons of the 1960s held concerts at the Arena.[citation needed]

When the New Haven Coliseum was completed in 1972, most of the Arena's business went there. The Arena was demolished in 1974. The site is now the headquarters of the New Haven Division of the FBI.[3]
