PNE Agrodome, Sports and agricultural arena in Vancouver, Canada

The PNE Agrodome is an indoor arena at Hastings Park in Vancouver, built in 1963. It seats 5,000 people, or 3,260 when set up for hockey or lacrosse. The Pacific National Exhibition owns the venue, which hosts the annual fair's military tattoo and winter ice hockey and figure skating.

The building opened in 1963 as a response to the need for a flexible venue that could serve both athletic and agricultural events. It became the primary home for major provincial basketball championships for decades.

The Agrodome takes its name from the agricultural side of the Pacific National Exhibition, whose annual fair uses the hall for livestock displays and shows. Outside fair time the same floor serves ice hockey and figure skating in winter, and hosted the British Columbia AAA boys' basketball championship every year until 2010, when the tournament moved to the Langley Events Centre.

The venue is easily accessible by public transportation and provides straightforward entry for visitors with varying mobility needs. It is worth checking ahead about current events since operations can vary depending on what is happening that day.

The building served as a filming location for a famous 1980s sports movie, doubling as a Soviet boxing arena in one of the most memorable movie scenes. This unexpected Hollywood connection adds an interesting layer to its history.
