History
Roofing of the stadium, which began in 1962, was partially funded by the transfer of footballer Emil Látal.[1] In 1990 the arena was named Zimní stadion Luďka Čajky after Zlín hockey player Ludek Čajka, who was fatally wounded during a game in Košice.[2] By 2018 the arena was the oldest of all in the Czech Extraliga and in need of reconstruction.[3] In 2023 the stadium was renamed to Trinity Bank Arena Luďka Čajky.[4]
