I am the manager cjeggers mentioned in his note above dated 4/22/2012. I had a friend tell me about this posting just recently, so I decided to take a look and see what was posted. To my surprise the words in the statement above was twisted around. I have skated for years and currently skate with a traveling jam team. We visit rinks all around northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. This being said, I've experienced a wide variety of rinks of different size and flooring. This don't by far make me an expert on floor upkeep or condition. I do however realize when I skate at different rinks I pick up the floor coating on my wheels which can make my skating ability seem slippery. As for the condition of the floor at Skateland, I told the visitor our floor could use repairs but it was not top priority ""at that time"". Obviously some people do not know how expensive the repair work is for a skating floor. Also, check the date of complaint. Spring is not the time for floor repairs, this is when attendance begin to drop and rink income is low.
