22 / SEPTEMBER.OCTOBER.2020 USICERINKS.COM Outside of the sheets of ice, the list of amenities grows drastically. There are two turf fields: one inside and one out- side. These can be used for field sports. Besides the turf fields, there will also be grass available that Raya bought from a Major League Baseball team that decided to not use the turf. From a wellness perspective, the facil- ity features hydration IV therapy and other medical services. Beyond sports and fitness, the Crossover features a bar and restaurant along with an arcade and PC gaming area. The facility itself features wide hall- ways which allow for distancing during the pandemic. When the public enters the facility, they are greeted with com- mon areas that feature shrines to local heroes such as former Texas Longhorn quarterback Vince Young and long-time Dallas Star Mike Modano. When designing and constructing the Crossover, Raya and those involved wanted the facility built it in a way where those inside the facility could see everything going on, especially the hockey being played. "We built this place to feature the rinks," Raya said. "You get these kids in for soccer or lacrosse and then they see hockey and they might think it's pretty cool and want to try it."
