The nationally televised hockey games, with picturesque Lake Tahoe taking center stage, served as the initial puck drop. The opening two years later of the Tahoe Blue Events Center has turned Stateline into something of a hockey town.
That designation is just fine with the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority.
The 135,000-square-foot venue opened in September 2023 was built at a cost of $110 million to attract events that would help attract customers to resorts along Highway 50 during what tourism leaders refer to as “the shoulder seasons” — the spring and fall months that separate the summer’s lake activities and the winter ski season.
