Venue Description
The Pacific Coliseum at Hastings Park is at the core of one of the City's major event sites, only 15 minutes from the Vancouver Olympic Village. As home of an annual fair that attracts up to 60,000 people a day, this site is very well served by public transport.
Construction Update
The upgrades to Hastings Park are part of long-term restoration plans that began in 1994. Structural and cosmetic renovations will revitalize the Pacific Coliseum to address Olympic Games and community needs. The replacement of nearly 16,000 seats at the Coliseum and the expansion of the ice surface to international size have been completed. The balance of the building and technical changes for the Coliseum include ice plant improvements and upgrades to washroom facilities, concession space, building Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) and dehumidification systems. Major capital upgrades are planned for the summer months of 2006 through Fall 2007 to minimize disruption to normal business operations.
Post-Games Use
As the largest building within the Hastings Park complex, the Pacific Coliseum will continue to serve as a venue for diverse events such as ice shows, boxing, basketball, hockey, concerts, large assemblies, and trade and consumer shows.
