Champlin Engages Front Burner Sports & Entertainment to Explore Naming Rights for the Ice Forum


Champlin, MN – The City of Champlin has partnered with Front Burner Sports & Entertainment to explore securing a naming rights partner for the Champlin Ice Forum, a premier community facility.

The Ice Forum is more than an arena; it’s a city asset and a cornerstone of the community. By pursuing a naming rights partnership, the City aims to create a mutually beneficial relationship with a forward-thinking company that shares our commitment to enhancing the resident experience. This partnership will help ensure the City continues to provide a first-class user experience for all who visit the Ice Forum. “The Ice Forum is part of the fabric of Champlin,” said Dan Glynn, Director of Parks & Recreation. “We’re excited about the opportunity to partner with a company that values community engagement and wants to be part of something special.”

This is a unique opportunity for a forward-thinking brand to integrate itself into a facility that is one of the most well-trafficked in the area. The naming rights partner will receive unmatched exposure, including logo placement both inside and outside the facility, as well as the opportunity to forge a lasting relationship with the venue and community.

Front Burner Sports & Entertainment brings extensive experience in this space, having successfully worked with other cities and counties across Minnesota, including Elk River, Rogers, Apple Valley, Rochester, Alexandria, and Ramsey County.

The process will occur in two phases:

  • Phase One (2-3 months): Determining the value of the opportunity and identifying the assets a partner would receive.
  • Phase Two: Actively seeking and negotiating with potential partners.
