Range Recreation Civic Center
Eveleth, Minnesota
By working together, the Quad cities of Virginia, Eveleth, Mountain Iron and Gilbert, built the Range Recreation Civic Center, with support from the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission.
The primary winter use of this facility is curling. As curling is now an Olympic event, the United States Curling Association supports this facility as a National Training Center. The facility is capable of hosting national and regional championships.
The 25,000 square feet of indoor space is also a busy venue for trade and car shows, concerts, receptions and conventions.
From the middle of December to the end of March, Curl Mesabi, the resident curling club, hosted an event every weekend and leagues every weekday.
