Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute.

The Chicago Blackhawks have revealed new renderings for the Fifth Third Arena expansion. When the work is complete in early 2026, the venue will have more than 250,000 square feet of hockey space and training facilities, along with bars, lounges and a patio. The arena will continue serving as the training home to the Blackhawks and will also become the permanent home of the Chicago Steel. The team currently plays in Geneva. 

WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis has more details on the expansion, with a photo gallery of the Blackhawks renderings here.
