Rogers Arena, Indoor sports arena in downtown Vancouver, Canada.
Rogers Arena is a multipurpose hall in downtown Vancouver used mainly for ice hockey games and concerts. The hall features several levels of seating, boxes along the upper tiers, and a central ice surface that can be adapted depending on the event.
The hall was built in the mid-nineties to replace an older sports venue and opened in September 1995. Since then, it has carried changing sponsor names and remained the home venue for an NHL team.
The building carries the name of a Canadian telecommunications company and serves the city as the main home for ice hockey and other large events. Before home games, fans often gather in the surrounding streets, and the blue seats inside fill quickly with spectators wearing team jerseys.
The hall sits just a few steps from a metro station and can be reached through several entrances. Those arriving by car will find parking options nearby but should allow some time to locate a spot.
The ice surface can be removed or installed within a few hours to make room for concerts or other events. Cooling pipes run beneath the ice, keeping the surface frozen even when thousands of people are inside the space.
