When it comes to roller rinks, bigger is not always better. Always remember that people have more fun when there's a crowd. A good ball game is more exciting if the stands are full then when they're half empty. You want your facility to be able to accomodate larger crowds, but you don't want it to feel empty when you only have fifty people in the building.

Roller rinks range in size from 8,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet, depending on what size community they're located and what attractions they offer. Most roller rinks are around 20,000 square feet.

The skate floor should take up no more than 60% of the entire building. This means that the average skating surface is around 75' x 150'.
