I haven't seen the OSU facility, but my nomination would have to be the
Formal name:  Broadmoor world arena
My name:      World's worst arena
 
at the broadmoor hotel in colorado springs where The Colorado College
plays most of their home games.  The surface is small, the ice is soft, the
sight lines from seating are absolutely terrible (there are maybe 6 good seats
outside the two press boxes)  both press boxes are reached by ladders, and on
one side, the ladder is pulled up when not being used because it comes down
in the middle of an aisle.
