Live Entertainment in Vancouver

Rogers Arena is Vancouver's most important sports and entertainment venue — a 19,000-capacity arena home to the Vancouver Canucks and the site of Team Canada's historic 2010 Olympic gold medal hockey game. Vancouver's extraordinary 2010 Winter Olympics legacy and the famous outdoor viewing parties that brought 100,000 Canadians into the streets to watch Sidney Crosby's overtime gold medal goal create entertainment experiences of remarkable Canadian sporting emotional significance.

BC Place is Canada's largest covered stadium — a 54,000-capacity Vancouver arena home to the Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS) and BC Lions (CFL) and site of the 2010 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremonies. BC Place's extraordinary Olympics heritage and its remarkable retractable roof (the world's largest air-supported fabric roof when it opened in 1983) create sporting events of considerable Canadian sporting significance.

Commodore Ballroom is Vancouver's most cherished concert venue — a 1,000-capacity 1930 Granville Street ballroom with the most springy dancefloor in Canada (built on coiled springs for maximum bounce) that has been the center of Vancouver's live music scene for nearly a century. Every significant Canadian band and touring international artist has played the Commodore; the venue's extraordinary floor, ornate original ballroom decor, and consistent programming have made it one of the most beloved mid-size venues in North America.

Rogers Arena is Vancouver's premier entertainment venue — an 18,910-seat arena home to the Vancouver Canucks and host of the city's biggest concerts, award shows, and sporting events. Vancouver's extraordinary setting between Pacific mountains and ocean, combined with its role as Canada's gateway to Asia-Pacific entertainment markets, creates a concert audience drawn from both the Lower Mainland's 2.5 million residents and the massive international tourism market that makes Vancouver one of the most visited cities in North America.
