The Lucas County Arena is a 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Toledo, Ohio. It should be completed in 2009, and a Free Public Open House will be held on October 3rd and 4th, 2009.  The Lucas county arena will cost between $80 and 105 million to build. Upon completion, it will replace the demolished Toledo Sports Arena.  The new arena will be home of the Toledo Walleye ECHL ice hockey team beginning in the 2009–10 season and the Toledo Bullfrogs arena football team beginning in the 2010 season. Toledo Arena Sports, Inc., had been in discussions with the National Basketball Association to bring an NBA Developmental League team to the arena, but have been shelved for the moment due to scheduling conflicts with Walleye games. Toledo Arena Sports has not totally abandoned the idea and an NBA-D team could be developed in the future.

After a successful partnership on the Mud Hens Stadium (Fifth-Third Field), the Lucas County Commissioners again teamed with HNTB Architecture Inc., a national sports architecture firm located in Kansas City; The Collaborative Inc, of Toledo; and Poggemeyer Design Group, of Toledo.

The arena is also looking to become the first new LEED sports arena in the United States. The arena's signature green design element is a 900-square foot "green wall" outside of the building, which will feature the use of plant life on the exterior of the building to help cool the arena by shading the glass-enclosed main entrance of the arena. The arena's location next to mass transit systems, use of a light-colored roof membrane that reflects sunlight and underground cisterns collecting rain water to re-use for landscaping purposes around the arena, are also emphasized to acquire LEED points for the project.
