Four Billings Sports Venues Move Closer to Opening

Billings' $20 million Amend Recreation Center is nearing completion as a 57,000-square-foot multi-sport complex with basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts that will open in early August 2026 without requiring memberships.

The projects align with a strategic push by the Billings Chamber of Commerce to increase sports tourism and economic growth. The chamber has identified the four efforts as central to that approach, linking new and renovated venues to opportunities for events and community activity.

Amend Recreation Center and Signal Peak Energy Arena

The Amend Recreation Center sits alongside construction of the $16 million Signal Peak Energy Arena at Amend Park. The arena will feature two ice sheets and is scheduled to open in spring 2026. Both facilities are located at Amend Park and form part of the coordinated set of investments tracked by the chamber.

Daylis Stadium Renovation and MetraPark Arena

The $15 million renovation of Daylis Stadium is nearing completion ahead of the first high school football game this fall, when Billings Skyview High School will host the inaugural match at the renovated facility. Separately, the $2.5 million outdoor rodeo arena at MetraPark is expected to be completed by July 15, 2026, in time for MontanaFair and Rodeo Billings events.

These timelines and costs come directly from project updates reported by local outlets. The chamber has framed the four projects together as a single initiative to expand capacity for sports tourism and related economic activity in Billings.

Once open, the venues will provide access for scheduled games, practices and public events without additional membership requirements at the recreation center. Local users can follow announcements from the Billings Chamber of Commerce and facility operators for specific opening details and event schedules.
