The expansion will make Sharks Ice at San Jose the largest ice facility in the United States, and will inclusion a focus on green building initiatives including high efficiency LED lighting, electric Zamboni, and electric vehicle chargers. The team will leave the SAP Center when the new arena is finished.[1]
