Van Andel Arena is an 11,005-seat multi-purpose arena, situated in the Heartside district of Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. Since its opening in 1996, the arena has attracted over five million patrons. It is home to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League, the top minor league affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings, with fans giving it the nickname "The Freezer on Fulton". Van Andel Arena is the fourth-largest arena in Michigan, as well as West Michigan's largest; only Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, the Jack Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing, and the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, are larger.
After a $75 million construction effort, the arena opened on October 8, 1996, and since has attracted over five million patrons. The 12,000-seat arena is managed by SMG Property Management. It was named in recognition of the largest benefactors, Jay and Betty Van Andel.
