About Rogers Arena
About Rogers Arena
Rogers Arena is the home of the Vancouver Canucks (NHL) and Vancouver Warriors (NLL), located at 800 Griffiths Way in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Opened on November 5, 1995 as General Motors Place at a cost of CAD $160 million in private financing, the arena was built to replace the aging Pacific Coliseum and was designed around an NHL expansion era when both an NHL and an NBA team (the Vancouver Grizzlies, who played there until 2001) required a world-class home. Rogers Communications purchased naming rights in July 2010; the arena was renamed Rogers Arena that year. The arena's most celebrated moment came on February 28, 2010 -- when Rogers Arena, temporarily renamed Canada Hockey Place for the 2010 Winter Olympics, hosted Sidney Crosby's overtime goal against the United States to win gold in the men's ice hockey tournament. With over 26 million viewers, the game remains the most-watched television moment in Canadian history. Canada also won the women's gold medal at the arena during the same Games. Standing at ice level in Rogers Arena means standing at the precise location of the most significant goal in Canadian hockey history. The Canucks' most painful chapter also unfolded at the arena: in June 2011, they reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1982, only to lose Game 7 to the Boston Bruins at home, triggering the Vancouver riot. The near-miss of 2011 defined a generation of Canucks fandom and remains the franchise's last Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Canucks Sports & Entertainment undertook a CAD $150 million revitalisation across three phases: Phase 1 (new locker rooms and team staff areas), Phase 2 (summer 2023: new centre-hung videoboard and ribbon boards; a new VIP restaurant between the team tunnels), and Phase 3 (summer 2025: all upper and lower bowl seats replaced with custom black seats with cupholders -- the first complete seat replacement in the arena's 30-year history). Additional amenity additions included the Molson Hockey House, the Madrí Excepcional Lounge (transformed from Club 500), and a revitalised Toyota Plaza fan zone with live music and entertainment. Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station (Expo Line) is directly adjacent to the arena -- the most direct transit-to-arena connection in Canadian hockey. The Expo Line connects to downtown Vancouver in 3 minutes and to Vancouver International Airport (via Canada Line transfer) in approximately 30 minutes. The arena neighbours BC Place and sits at the edge of the False Creek waterfront, with Gastown to the north, Yaletown to the west, and Chinatown to the east -- giving Rogers Arena some of the best pre-game dining neighbourhood access in the NHL.

The Millennium Line also serves the area at nearby Main Street-Science World Station.
