The Topeka Scarecrows have locked in a long‑term agreement that will keep the franchise at the Stormont Vail Events Center through the 2030‑31 season, guaranteeing top‑level professional hockey in the capital city for the foreseeable future.
A new chapter for Topeka hockey
The team’s second season kicks off in mid‑October, opening with a home matchup against the Indiana Sentinels. The schedule stretches across the winter, featuring contests against the Monroe Moccasins, Mid South Monarchs, Blue Ridge Bobcats, Oceanside, Stockton Thunder, Minnesota Northern Lights, and the Fresno Falcons, giving fans a full slate of regional rivalries.
Season tickets are on sale now, priced between $429 and $588 for the entire campaign, while single‑game tickets will become available in September through Ticketmaster or the venue’s box office, making it easier for newcomers to experience the action live.
Community roots and future growth
The partnership with Oak View Group and Shawnee County underscores a shared vision of elevating the hockey experience in northeast Kansas, combining venue upgrades with community outreach to deepen fan engagement. By anchoring its operations at Stormont Vail, the Scarecrows not only secure a stable home but also reinforce their commitment to the local market, promising sustained investment in the sport and its supporters.
