About Canadian Tire Centre
Canadian Tire Centre
The Canadian Tire Centre might not have the most awe-inspiring name, but it’s still one of the best indoor sports venues in the entirety of the Great White North. Located in the west end of Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, the arena can hold more than 18,000 spectators for not just ice hockey games but basketball, concert events, and even more.
History of the Canadian Tire Centre
Once upon a time, back in the Roaring Nineties, someone had a great idea to attract an NHL ice hockey franchise to Ottowa. Plans were drawn up and money was put aside, and soon the prodigious bulk of what would at first be known as The Palladium would open for business in 1996. In proud Canadian tradition, the first event held there was a Bryan Adams concert. Hey, it was the nineties.
Either way, the plan worked and the Ottowa Senators moved in shortly after the concert. They lost spectacularly to the Canadiens that first game, setting an oh-so-wonderful precedent for the future. A few renovations (and name changes) later, and we’ve got the Canadian Tire Centre of today.
What Makes Canadian Tire Centre Events So Special?
As the second-largest venue in the National Capital Region and certainly the biggest in Ottawa itself, the Canadian Tire Centre gets all the best and hottest acts around when it comes to music concerts and other events. With six restaurants, a fitness club, and the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, there’s something for everyone.
