About Stadium

An indoor sports and entertainment facility located in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the Rogers Arena serves primarily as the home-ice of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks.

In addition to being the home for the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL, the arena was also the home court for the National Basketball league’s Vancouver Grizzlies before from 1995 to 2001 before they relocated to Memphis.

The arena hosted many events at the 2010 Winter Olympics which were held in British Columbia, Canada, and the name of the arena was temporarily changed to Canada Hockey Place for the Olympics.

The final price tag of the stadium came to $160 million, which was funded by private financing and was intended to replace the old Pacific Coliseum as the main entertainment and sports venue in Vancouver.
