Madison Capitols
Legacy20 Arena, Middleton 2616 Evergreen Road, Middleton, Wisconsin 53562
media release: The Capitols announced Sept. 21 that the first four home games of the 2026-27 season, originally scheduled to be played at the new arena in DeForest, will instead by played at Bob Suter’s LEGACY20 Arena in Middleton.
The change affects home games scheduled for October 17, October 23, October 24, and October 30.
Construction at the new arena in DeForest has taken longer than anticipated. While we know our fans have been looking forward to opening our new home, we want the first Capitols game in DeForest to deliver the experience our fans deserve. Rather than rush that first impression, we’ll begin our home schedule with four more games in a building that has been home to so many Capitols memories.
