The Tucson Roadrunners will not play at Tucson Arena from January 22 to February 24, which can’t be good for business. That’s the high season of Tucson, with winter visitors looking for ways to spend money. But the Tucson Convention Center was heavily booked, busy, before the Roadrunners moved to Tucson last spring. The Roadrunners even had to move two games, against the Charlotte Checkers, to the Gila River Arena in Glendale the first weekend of February.

Church Ave., on Sept. 22, 2016, in downtown Tucson, Ariz. The whole process of painting and freezing approximately 10,000 gallons of water takes three to four days. Mike Christy / Arizona Daily Star
