Rogers Arena
Since 1995, Rogers Arena has been hosting large venues for the public of Vancouver. It was built to replace the Pacific Coliseum (which still exists) and has been home to various sports teams both past and present including the Vancouver Grizzlies (basketball), Vancouver Warriors (lacrosse), and Vancouver Canucks (NHL hockey).
The venue has also been host to numerous world-renowned events. The Juno awards have taken place at Rogers Arena (three times), as have the 2001 Skating World Championships, multiple UFC events and, of course, the 2010 Olympic Games.
Where is Rogers Arena?
Rogers Arena is located in downtown Vancouver at 800 Griffiths Way (which is just a tiny one-block stretch of road between Pacific Boulevard and Expo Boulevard). The arena is on the other side of the Georgia Viaduct from BC Place Stadium which is a five or so minute walk away. With respect to Public Transit, the arena is also just a short distance from the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain Station.

Tip and Tricks for Navigating the Arena
Here are some useful tidbits of information to help you have a seamless experience at Rogers Arena.
TIP #1: Bags must be smaller than 14″ by 14″ by 6″. If your bag is bigger than that security won’t allow you to enter until you’ve gotten rid of it.
TIP #2: If you’re going to a concert, game or performance with a little one you can get booster seats for them to sit on so they can see everything. These are available at Sections 104, 114 and 310 but it’s first-come first-serve so make sure you get there early.
TIP #3: Check out the extensive list of what’s not allowed in the arena. Some items are common sense like knives and other weapons, but some are random like helium balloons, noisemakers and rollerblades.
