Roller City 1007 Century Dr., Springdale, AR
Razorback Skate Ranch was established in 1986 at 1007 Century Drive, Springdale, Arkansas. First registered on May 16, 1986 and likely opened in June 1986 until I do not know when they closed and sold to to the current Roller City.
Razorback Skate Ranch was operational and owned by Larry A. Kruger but when he sold the rink to current owner of Roller City. The current owner is Stephen Lightfoot.
Looks like it was sold before 2007 because Google Map has farthest past to 2007 and the evident in the picture is Roller City.
The Interior.
I do not know what it was original look for the interior. However, for Roller City, it was updated to add their mural. I believe I have seen this mural on the wall I think I said add some more color to it. Somewhere. That is ok. I have many rinks I listed every day.
The wall with the name looks like it was bursting out with chunks of the wall itself. Since it is Cinder-block wall, pieces of the blocks bursting out. Again, I wish it was like the SITE designed BEST Catalog Stores inspired that it burst out of the wall 3D. Actual pieces of the blocks giving it 3D look. But that would be hard to do considering this is indoors and it is on the rink wall. That is ok. No worries.
Nice mural that glows black light colors when it turned on with those black lights.
But I see it seem to need to be more light colors when it is on regular lights. Balance more.
The evidence of Razorback at this rink is similar to the old Razorback Roller Rink in Rogers, Arkansas. For instance, the floor off the rink. Carpetiles in Razorback Red and White. Evidently, this rink had Razorback feel to it here and there while it is Roller City.
It has Maple wood floor.
The Exterior.
Free-Span Steel Truss Steel-Walled and Bricks Warehouse - like Building with Gable roof. The entire facility looks large according to Google Map. It is the largest rink in the NWA (North West Arkansas). It has Soft Yellow Steel-walled above the Pink Red Bricks half wall wrapped around the building. It is in the industrial district off of main road area. That is a plus because it appeared to be in middle of that district away from residential area which means not to worry about noise complaints.
The Stats:
Rink Size: N/A. Floor: Clear coated Polyurethane coated Maple. Floor Layout: LOG.
Building Size: 22,500 SF. Built: 1986. Demolished: Still standing.
Type of Building: Free-Span Steel Truss Steel-Walled and Bricks Warehouse - like Building.
Roof: Gable.
Acres: 0.5200 Acre. (Not an error, Loop Net said so.)
Operated: 1986 to present
Razorback Skate Ranch: Registered on May 16, 1986 to N/A.
Roller City: N/A to present.
Reason for Closure:
Razorback Skate Ranch: N/A.

Wanted: Information regarding exact when first opened, closed for Razorback, why closed? First opened for Roller City?
