Designed for Flexibility, Built to Welcome Everyone

This unique, multi-use facility is located in Janesville, Wisconsin, right along the Wisconsin and Illinois border. The Woodman's Center was thoughtfully designed to be able to offer something for everyone visiting the Midwest and those who live just down the road—young athletes and their families, business leaders, event and conference planners, local organizations, and community members alike. Built on the site of a former Sears store and adjacent to Uptown Mall, the facility is also the new home to the North American Hockey League (NAHL) junior ice hockey team, Janesville Jets, Janesville Youth Hockey, Beloit College hockey teams, and several local leagues.
