Rogers Arena
Rogers Arena in Vancouver is the official home of the Vancouver Canucks NHL team
Located just north of BC Place Stadium, Rogers arena is home to the Vancouver Canucks NHL franchise. It was first opened in 1995 as General Motors Place, but the naming rights where purchases by Rogers Communications in 2010, thus the name change.
Rogers Arena has seating for nearly 19,000 fans for NHL hockey games. It was the venue for ice hockey during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver during which time it was temporarily called Canada Hockey Place.
In addition to hosting Vancouver Canucks home games, Roger Arena features numerous big name concerts and a number of other events throughout the year. If you don't have the opportunity to take in an event or game, guided tours of the arena are available for a nominal charge on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Rogers Arena Reviews
Rated
out of 5 Outstanding performance from Hans Zimmer and band. Truly an unforgettable experience.
The venue itself was clean and tidy. Removed a star because anyone with a bottle (plastic) entering the floor level was asked to dispose of it and pour their drink in another plastic cup with lid. While I understand why this was being done, it seems extremely wasteful.

Love going to Rogers Arena for Canucks games. Been going for the last few years and have always had a good time. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food is always good - little pricey but good. Sadly tickets prices continue to rise but if you can afford it, I’d recommend going and experiencing an NHL game.
Highly recommend.

Renovations were much needed. concourses are small due to the arena's location; the atmosphere fluctuates based heavily on team success. parking is expensive, and there is a lot of it, I'd recommend taking the Skytrain. food is good but very expensive. The playoff atmosphere is insane, that's if the team decides to make it

What can I say? If I want to see a concert it's not like I can choose where to see it. The ticket prices are high, the seats are tiny and uncomfortable, the food prices are outrageous. They sell pizza by the slice for $12 each. $7 for a Pepsi. Eat before you go.
The entry process is pretty smooth. Be prepared to go through a metal detector, be patted down and have your purse looked through as with any stadium.
The lines used to be ridiculously long in the '90s with one door and two guys working but they've improved things. They have a massive security team and rows of metal detectors so they can take huge crowds at once.
Lots of expensive parking in the area. If you're looking at parking websites in advance to get the best prices be aware that all the lots in the area increase their fees on concert nights. They have event pricing so expect to pay $40 for a couple hours. We drove to a lot 5 minutes away and they still had event prices.
It's located right next to the sky train where you'll wait hours to get on. The cops are always around afterwards to block the roads and control traffic and to try to keep things moving smoothly as possible.
If you park in a lot make sure you're not parking at one that closes at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. if you're at a concert. They close the gate and your car gets locked in.
If you park in a lot very close to the stadium like the indigo one across the street be aware there will be a severe traffic jam and you'll be stuck there for an hour to move one block. You're better off having to walk 5 minutes to one up the street and then the road is clear.
