Rogers Arena is a multi-purpose arena at 800 Griffiths Way in the downtown area of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Opened in 1995, the arena was known as General Motors Place (GM Place) from its opening until July 6, 2010, when General Motors Canada ended its naming rights sponsorship and a new agreement for those rights was reached with Rogers Communications. Rogers Arena was built to replace Pacific Coliseum as Vancouver's primary indoor sports facility and in part due to the National Basketball Association (NBA) 1995 expansion into Canada, when Vancouver and Toronto were given expansion teams.
It is home to the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The arena also hosted the ice hockey events at the 2010 Winter Olympics. The name of the arena temporarily became Canada Hockey Place during the Olympics. It was previously home to the Vancouver Grizzlies of the NBA from 1995 to 2001. The Grizzlies spent six seasons in Vancouver before relocating to Memphis for the 2001–02 season.
Prior to the start of the 2022–23 NHL season the arena underwent the first of three renovation phases. Phase one consisted of a complete renovation of the players dressing room and team staff area. Phase two was completed prior to the start of the 2023–24 NHL season during which a new centre-hung video board and a new ribbon board above the lower bowl were installed.[6] A new VIP restaurant is being added in between the two tunnels that lead out to the home and away team benches. The final phase was expected to be completed prior to the start of the 2024–25 NHL season, with a replacement of all the seats in the upper and lower bowl of the arena,[7] however this has been delayed to sometime in 2025.[8]
