Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- The Wings Stadium Complex, which is also home to "The Annex" and "The Cube", announces that effective immediately, the complex will eliminate their designated smoking doors.

With the elimination of the smoking doors, patrons that are attending the Wings Stadium Complex will have to leave the facility and go outside if they choose to smoke.

"We have always listened to our patrons, and in the focus groups and surveys we conducted, our patrons said they wanted this facility to become smoke-free," said Vice President and General Manager Paul L. Pickard. "We are very conscience of our guests that did use our smoking doors during events; however, more and more venues are becoming smoke-free."

Stadium Management Company owns both Wings Stadium Complex and the Kalamazoo Wings hockey team. Wings Stadium Complex is comprised of three buildings; Wings Stadium seats more than 5,100 fans for K-Wings home games and more than 8,000 people for concerts and other stage events. The Annex seats 1,367 for ice events and 2,850 for non-ice events such as car, boat, and trade shows. The Cube is the newer of the three facilities, that plays host to both ice and non-ice events. All three buildings are available for rental and feature numerous catering and meeting opportunities.
