Pacific Coliseum

Pacific Coliseum, Indoor arena in Hastings Park, Vancouver, Canada

The Pacific Coliseum is an indoor arena in Hastings Park, Vancouver, with a broad curved facade of pale gray vertical panels and a flat roofline. A projecting entrance has a glass-fronted upper level, a row of flagpoles and concrete columns; a sign above the doors reads "PACIFIC COLISEUM". Designed by W. K. Noppe in 1966–67, it has a simple geometric shape and a ring of white panels.

Designed by W. K. Noppe in 1966–67, the Pacific Coliseum opened in 1968 on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds. It hosted the WHL Canucks from 1968, then the NHL Canucks from 1970 to 1995, and the WHA Vancouver Blazers from 1973 to 1975. In 2010 it staged the Olympic figure skating and short track speed skating events.

Locals call it "The Coliseum" or "the Rink on Renfrew". Its white-panel ring was designed by W. K. Noppe in 1966–67 in a formalist style, and the same plans were reused for Edmonton's Northlands Coliseum. Since 2023 LED lighting on the exterior walls changes colour to mark events and dates.

The arena stands at North Renfrew Road on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Hastings Park, with the main entrance under the projecting glass-fronted section and flagpoles. The 2007 renovations upgraded accessibility and seating, and the ice plant now serves both the Coliseum and the neighbouring Agrodome.

The arena's original centre-hung scoreclock was replaced in 1985, then retired in early 2023 and donated to the Sunshine Coast Junior Hockey Society in Gibson, British Columbia. In June 2023 a $2.6 million project added LED lighting around the exterior walls, letting the building glow in different colours for events and occasions.
