Pacific Coliseum, locally known as The Coliseum or the Rink on Renfrew, is an indoor arena located at Hastings Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. Its main use has been for ice hockey and the arena has been the home for several ice hockey teams.

Key Information

Currently the home of the Vancouver Goldeneyes of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), the arena was best known as the home of the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL), from 1970 to 1995. Other hockey tenants of the Pacific Coliseum have been the Vancouver Canucks (Western Hockey League) from 1968 to 1970, the Vancouver Nats (WHL) from 1972 to 1973, the Vancouver Blazers (World Hockey Association) from 1973 to 1975, the Vancouver Voodoo (Roller Hockey International) from 1994 to 1995, and the Vancouver Giants (WHL) from 2001 to 2016.

It was completed in 1968 on the site of the Pacific National Exhibition. Its architect and plans were also used for Edmonton's Northlands Coliseum.[5] Originally holding 15,038 for ice hockey, capacity has fluctuated slightly over the years and currently holds 16,281. During the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, it was the venue for figure skating and short track speed skating. The arena also hosts a variety of concerts and other events.

History

[edit]

Designed by W. K. Noppe in 1966–67, with its simple geometric shape and distinctive ring of white panels, the building can be classified as formalist architecture. Used initially as home to the WHL's Vancouver Canucks, the building was used to attract an NHL franchise in 1970 and a World Hockey Association franchise in 1973. The Coliseum underwent renovations and additions in the late 1970s, but its role as host of an NHL team and a main venue for events in Vancouver was lost with the construction and opening of General Motors Place (now Rogers Arena) in 1995.

The original centre-hung scoreclock was replaced during the 1985 renovations (this renovation work included seismic upgrades to the facility) by a new four-sided centre-hung scoreclock with colour matrix animation/matrix displays along with electronic message boards across the bottom on each side (the original sponsors for this clock were Imperial Tobacco and Molson Brewery), which in 2007 was replaced by a four-sided Daktronics scoreboard with a video display on each side.

Recent renovations were completed in 2007 to upgrade accessibility, seating, HVAC, and ice surface for its use as a venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics.[6] During the renovations prior to the Olympics major upgrades were done to the ice plant at Pacific Coliseum. The adjacent Agrodome ice plant was decommissioned and both buildings now share the same system located at the Coliseum.

In early 2023 the Pacific Coliseum retired its scoreclock, donating it to the Sunshine Coast Junior Hockey Society in Gibson, British Columbia. Video screens were added to the north end of the arena and concourse walls.

In June 2023 a $2.6 million lighting project installed LED lighting around the exterior walls of the venue, allowing the arena to light up with different colours to recognize different events, dates and occasions.

Seating capacity

[edit]

The seating capacity for hockey has progressed as follows:

  • 15,038 (1968–1970)[7]
  • 15,570 (1970–1978)[8]
  • 16,413 (1978–1982)[9]
  • 16,553 (1983–1989)[10]
  • 16,123 (1989–1992)[11]
  • 16,150 (1992–2006)[12]
  • 16,281 (2006–present)[13]

Sports

[edit]

The arena hosted the fourth game of the 1972 Summit Series on September 8, when the Soviet Union defeated Canada 5–3. In a famous post-game interview, Phil Esposito voiced his displeasure with the Vancouver crowd's reaction to their loss in an interview that was broadcast on national television.

The WHA Vancouver Blazers started playing at the Coliseum in 1973 when local businessman Jim Pattison bought the team from the Philadelphia Blazers ownership team. The team would last two years before moving to Calgary, becoming the Calgary Cowboys and fold in 1977.

The Coliseum played host to the 2001 Mann Cup, where the hosting WLA Coquitlam Adanacs defeated MSL's Brampton Excelsiors in seven games.

2010 Winter Olympics

[edit]

The Coliseum played host to figure skating and short-track speed skating events for the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, from February 12 to 28, 2010.[14]

Vancouver Canucks

[edit]

The arena hosted its first NHL game on October 9, 1970, where the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3–1 in the Canucks' NHL debut. The Kings' Bob Berry scored the first goal, with Barry Wilkins scoring the first goal for the Canucks. Its final NHL game was played May 27, 1995, with the Chicago Blackhawks defeating the Canucks 4–3 to sweep them out of the 1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the second round.

The 25-year tenure of the Canucks would see the Stanley Cup Finals come to the Coliseum twice; once in 1982, where the New York Islanders would complete their sweep of the Canucks in Vancouver on May 16, 1982, and again in 1994 where they would lose to the New York Rangers in a seven-game thriller. Former owner Arthur Griffiths called the sixth game of the 1994 series, the only Stanley Cup Finals game that the Canucks would ever win at the Coliseum, to be "The greatest game ever played at the Pacific Coliseum," and sent the entire city into a frenzy in its wake. The Coliseum would host a viewing of game 7, which the Canucks would lose by a goal, after Nathan LaFayette's potential tying shot went off the post.

Pacific Coliseum also played host to the 1977 NHL All-Star Game, which saw the Wales Conference All-Stars defeat the Campbell Conference All-Stars 4–3.

The final NHL goal scored in the arena belongs to the Chicago Blackhawks' Chris Chelios, as the Blackhawks completed a four-game sweep of the Canucks in the 1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs' second round. Roman Oksiuta scored the Canucks' last goal in the building.

Junior hockey

[edit]

Pacific Coliseum first hosted the Memorial Cup in 1977, when Stan Smyl and the New Westminster Bruins won their first Memorial Cup championship by defeating the Ottawa 67's, 6–5. Smyl would eventually have a successful thirteen-year NHL career playing with the Vancouver Canucks at the arena, eventually having his #12 retired by the team on November 3, 1991; the first number that the team would retire, and the only one retired by the Canucks during their time at the Coliseum.

After the departure of the Canucks in 1995, hockey returned to the Rink on Renfrew with the inaugural season of the WHL Vancouver Giants in 2001, where they would stay until dwindling attendance numbers would cause them to move to the Langley Events Centre after the 2015–16 season.

The arena was one of four arenas to play host to the 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, alongside Rogers Arena, Prospera Place in Kelowna, and the Sandman Centre in Kamloops.

In 2006, the Giants were chosen to host the 2007 Memorial Cup Tournament. During this tournament, the arena surpassed the all-time Memorial Cup attendance record; after seven round-robin games 91,808 attended, and the tournament would eventually finish with a total attendance of 121,461. In the same tournament, the Vancouver Giants won their first Memorial Cup championship, by defeating the WHL champion Medicine Hat Tigers, 3–1. The Giants had lost the WHL final in seven games to the Tigers earlier in the season.

Volleyball

The Pacific Coliseum is a multi-purpose indoor located in Hastings Park, , , , as part of the complex. Opened on January 8, 1968, following a design by W.K. Noppe, the venue features 15,713 permanent seats with capacity for up to 17,500 including temporary floor seating, and an exhibition floor area exceeding 80,000 square feet. Historically, the arena served as the home of the hockey team, first in the from 1968 to 1970 and subsequently in the National Hockey League from 1970 to 1995, including their inaugural NHL game on October 9, 1970, and Stanley Cup Finals appearances in 1982 and 1994. It achieved global visibility during the , hosting all and events from February 13 to 28. The Coliseum's versatility extends to entertainment, with early highlights including a by on September 7, 1968, and a match between and on May 1, 1972, alongside numerous , circuses, and trade shows that have marked its role in Vancouver's cultural and sporting heritage.

History

Construction and opening

The Pacific Coliseum was commissioned by the (PNE) in the mid-1960s as a modern replacement for the aging PNE Forum, a 5,000-seat venue built in 1948 that had become inadequate for growing crowds at hockey games and exhibitions on the Hastings Park grounds. W.K. Noppe designed the circular in , aiming for a capacity of approximately 15,000 seats to accommodate major sporting and entertainment events, signaling Vancouver's readiness to host professional leagues like the NHL and supporting the local economy through increased tourism and fair attendance. Groundbreaking occurred in 1966, with progressing through 1967 amid Vancouver's broader expansion to bolster its profile as a West Coast hub for sports and culture. The project, completed at a cost of C$6 million, emphasized efficient design for multi-use functionality, including ice rinks for hockey and space for PNE integrations, though delays in final fittings pushed the debut beyond initial targets. This investment reflected civic priorities in fostering community gatherings and economic activity, as the venue was positioned to draw regional visitors and elevate the PNE's annual events. The Coliseum officially opened on January 8, 1968, with its inaugural event being the , a show that filled the arena and highlighted its suitability for spectacles. The first hockey game followed on January 16, 1968, between the Western Hockey League's and the Providence Reds, drawing crowds that underscored the venue's immediate role in sustaining local hockey enthusiasm and integrating with PNE programming to stimulate attendance and revenue. These early uses established the Coliseum as a cornerstone of Vancouver's entertainment infrastructure, contributing to sports culture without relying on major league franchises at the outset.

Early sports and entertainment role

The Pacific Coliseum commenced operations on January 8, 1968, inaugurating with an ice show that drew crowds to its 15,016-seat capacity facility, constructed at a cost of $6 million on the (PNE) grounds in Vancouver's Park. This venue addressed a critical deficiency in Western 's sports infrastructure, where the destruction of earlier arenas like Vancouver's Denman Arena by fire in 1936 had left a void for mid-sized indoor events, previously accommodated in smaller halls or requiring relocation to distant eastern facilities; the Coliseum's scale enabled regional aggregation of spectators for professional hockey, , and performances, fostering local economic activity through ticket revenues and ancillary spending estimated to support PNE's annual fair attendance exceeding one million visitors by the 1970s. Early sports programming centered on ice hockey, with the first game held on January 16, 1968, pitting the of the against the Providence Reds, establishing the arena as a hub for minor professional leagues prior to major league expansion. The WHL Canucks continued as primary tenants from 1968 to 1970, hosting regular-season games that attracted dedicated local followings and contributed to the venue's role in sustaining hockey culture amid limited alternatives in . Boxing events further diversified usage, notably the May 1, 1972, heavyweight bout between and , which, despite drawing approximately 8,700 spectators—half the arena's listed capacity—highlighted the Coliseum's viability for high-profile combat sports, though promoter losses underscored challenges in guaranteeing full houses for individual promotions. Entertainment offerings integrated seamlessly with PNE programming, leveraging the arena's proximity to fairgrounds for combined ticket sales and visitor retention; early concerts, such as Three Dog Night's January 24, 1970, performance with opening act , initiated a tradition of rock and pop shows that boosted off-season revenue and positioned the Coliseum as a cultural anchor, with event-driven stimulating local in an era when sought to elevate its profile as a western gateway for national audiences. The venue's multi-purpose adaptability thus not only filled infrastructural gaps but also generated verifiable economic multipliers through diversified programming, as evidenced by sustained PNE operational funding derived from Coliseum-hosted spectacles.

NHL era and expansion

The commenced their NHL tenure at the Pacific Coliseum in the 1970–71 season as one of two expansion teams, alongside the , marking the league's first franchise on Canada's West Coast. The inaugural home game took place on October 9, 1970, against the , ending in a 3–1 defeat attended by 15,062 spectators, with Barry Wilkins scoring the franchise's first goal. The arena's hockey configuration featured a regulation-size surface suited to NHL standards, though initial stood at 15,713, later increased to around 16,000 through incremental additions to meet growing demand and league requirements. This adaptation helped establish professional hockey in Vancouver, transitioning from the prior era and building a foundational fanbase amid early on-ice challenges, including a debut season record of 26 wins, 46 losses, and 8 ties. The Coliseum hosted the Canucks' initial playoff games in 1975 and became synonymous with key postseason achievements, including the 1982 finals and Stanley Cup Finals against the , where Vancouver secured its first series win via a three-game sweep of the . The 1994 playoffs represented a high point, with home crowds fueling a run to Game 7 of the Finals against the Rangers, though the team lost 3–2; these events drew sellout attendances nearing 16,000, underscoring the venue's role in amplifying local enthusiasm and rivalries. Such successes elevated hockey's prominence in , transforming sporadic interest into sustained fandom despite the team's overall middling regular-season performance through the and . While the Coliseum's intimate layout enhanced game-day intensity and accessibility for working-class fans, its aging infrastructure—lacking luxury suites, premium club areas, and central urban location—drew criticism for hindering revenue compared to emerging NHL arenas. By the early , these shortcomings, coupled with the need for expanded corporate amenities and better transit links, necessitated a modern replacement, leading to the Canucks' departure after the 1994–95 season for the newly constructed downtown. The move reflected broader league trends toward profit-optimized facilities, though the Coliseum's era indelibly shaped Vancouver's hockey identity.

2010 Winter Olympics

The Pacific Coliseum served as the venue for and competitions during the , held from February 13 to 28 in , . These events included eight medal competitions in short track speed skating, such as the men's 500 m, 1,000 m, and 1,500 m, alongside relays, and the full figure skating program encompassing pairs, , men's singles, women's singles, and the inaugural team event. The arena's ice surface accommodated both disciplines simultaneously through modular rink configurations, with short track events concluding before figure skating intensified. Medal ceremonies for these sports occurred onsite, contributing to the Games' ceremonial structure. Prior to the Olympics, the Coliseum underwent approximately $20 million in renovations funded by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), focusing on accessibility improvements, seating replacements, HVAC upgrades, ice plant enhancements, and aesthetic updates including new washrooms. These works, completed in 2007, expanded the venue's gross capacity to 14,200 seats, incorporating temporary broadcast facilities to support international media coverage. The upgrades aligned with IOC standards for venue readiness, enabling high-definition global transmissions that reached billions, though specific Coliseum viewership figures remain aggregated within overall Olympic broadcasts exceeding 3.8 billion cumulative viewers. Sessions drew capacities nearing 14,200 attendees, reflecting the ' overall ticket sales surpassing 97% of available inventory across venues, with empirical data indicating sellouts for high-profile events like the gala and short track finals. Post-Games analyses highlighted short-term economic gains, including localized boosts from and investments generating around 2,500 full-time jobs in , yet raised concerns over long-term underutilization of the renovated facility amid debates on sustaining non-Olympic event viability without ongoing subsidies.

Post-Olympics challenges and usage

Following the , the Pacific Coliseum underwent a $25 million renovation that included new seating, lighting, an upgraded ice plant, and washroom facilities to support its role in hosting and events. Despite these improvements, the venue struggled with fluctuating tenancy as major sports teams prioritized newer facilities elsewhere in the region. The had relocated to in 1995, but the post-Olympic era saw further erosion when the Western Hockey League's , serving as the primary anchor tenant, departed in 2016 for the Langley Events Centre, leaving the Coliseum without a consistent marquee occupant. This loss contributed to sporadic bookings, with annual event days dropping to 75-80 by the late 2010s, down from 100-120 prior to the Giants' exit. Usage shifted toward diverse, non-anchored activities such as concerts, trade shows, film productions, and family-oriented events like , reflecting the Pacific National Exhibition's (PNE) management efforts to maximize the aging infrastructure amid limited demand for dedicated sports tenancy. Revenue from Coliseum operations remained relatively stable at approximately $2.5 million annually, bolstered by higher margins on varied events, though PNE officials noted the absence of a long-term tenant risked diminishing the venue's civic and economic viability without further investment justification. Operational challenges stemmed from high maintenance costs for the 1968-built structure, compounded by competition from modern arenas like —which hosted 250-300 events yearly—and the Langley Events Centre, which offered superior amenities and drew away regional sports franchises. PNE management, responsible for the facility's upkeep, pursued potential new tenants through discussions with sports leagues, but the Coliseum's mid-tier capacity and location at Hastings Park limited its appeal against purpose-built competitors, leading to perceptions of underutilization despite ongoing minor bookings. These factors highlighted broader causal pressures on legacy Olympic venues, where post-event hype often yielded to market realities favoring newer infrastructure with lower per-event operational burdens.

Recent developments and PWHL tenancy

On April 23, 2025, the (PWHL) announced its expansion to , marking the league's first franchise outside its original six markets and scheduling the team's debut for the 2025-26 season. The PWHL team was designated as the primary tenant at Pacific Coliseum, with practices held at the adjacent (PNE) Agrodome, positioning the venue as a dedicated hub for professional women's hockey in the region. This arrangement represents the PWHL's inaugural instance of a team securing primary tenancy in its arena, aimed at fostering long-term stability and community integration for the Coliseum. To accommodate the team, the PNE initiated targeted renovations at the Coliseum, including upgrades to locker rooms, expanded training facilities, and installation of a new center-hung , with funding provided by the PNE—a city-owned entity managing the venue. These improvements, described by league officials as essential for modern professional standards, are intended to enhance operational efficiency and fan experience without altering the arena's core structure. Preparations advanced with the release of the 2025-26 regular-season schedule on October 1, 2025, featuring 13 home games at the Coliseum, beginning with an inaugural matchup against PWHL on November 21, 2025. On October 21, 2025, the team unveiled its home and away jerseys, incorporating Pacific blue and cream colors to evoke local maritime heritage, available for purchase ahead of the season opener. This tenancy is projected to reinvigorate the Coliseum's role as a sports anchor, drawing on its historical capacity for over 15,000 spectators to support sustained attendance and local economic activity through ticket sales, concessions, and related events.

Architecture and facilities

Design and structural features

The Pacific Coliseum features a circular design classified as formalist , characterized by a simple geometric form and distinctive rings of white panels encircling the exterior. Architect developed the plans in –1967, incorporating ribbed concrete arches that contribute to its futuristic appearance within the Hastings Park complex. Structurally, the arena employs a framework with a high clearance of 68 feet from the to the beams and 50 feet to the score clock, enabling unobstructed sightlines and versatile overhead rigging. The building's robust , typical of mid-20th-century venues, emphasizes durability for heavy loads and long-term use, though it predates modern advancements in materials like composites or seismic standards prevalent in post-1980s designs. The layout centers on a multi-configurable arena floor spanning 56,825 square feet, equipped with retractable seating and installation systems to accommodate sports, exhibitions, or courts. Exhibition configurations expand to gross square feet on the floor level, supported by a 14-foot-wide ramp linking the to the for efficient and flow. This integration with adjacent Hastings Park facilities allows seamless adaptation to diverse event requirements while maintaining a centralized, radial organization.

Seating capacity and configurations

The Pacific Coliseum maintains a standard of 16,281 for configurations, reflecting adjustments from its original 15,713 seats at opening in 1968 through incremental expansions and renovations. This figure encompasses 15,713 permanent seats plus additional floor-level accommodations specific to rink events, excluding full arena floor usage. For non-hockey setups, the venue supports flexible configurations, including courts, end-stage , and flat-floor assemblies, with maximum capacities reaching 17,500 when incorporating up to 1,600 temporary floor seats. During the , configurations for and were adjusted to a capacity of 14,239, prioritizing event-specific layouts over maximum . In-the-round arrangements have historically accommodated up to 17,000 patrons, while mini-stage events can scale down to 4,200. Attendee reports and event reviews frequently cite limitations in sightlines, particularly in upper-level sections where obstructions from structural elements and railings occur, alongside tight seating spacing that reduces comfort during prolonged events. These issues stem from the arena's mid-20th-century design, predating modern standards for elevation and legroom in larger venues, though lower and mid-level seats generally provide unobstructed views.

Renovations and maintenance history

In preparation for the , the Pacific Coliseum received approximately $20 million in renovations funded by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC). These upgrades encompassed structural and cosmetic improvements, including replacement of the ice plant, enhanced accessibility features, new seating installations, HVAC system modernizations, upgraded press facilities, improved lighting, and electrical system enhancements to meet Olympic standards and long-term community requirements. Ongoing maintenance has addressed aging infrastructure, such as a major chiller repair in the late that required additional city funding to the (PNE), the venue's operator, to offset equipment failure costs. HVAC and electrical components, bolstered by the Olympic-era work, have nonetheless demanded periodic interventions due to the building's origins and heavy usage. In 2025, the PNE launched capital improvements at the Coliseum to accommodate the (PWHL) Vancouver expansion team, starting with Phase I upgrades completed ahead of the 2025-26 season. These included installation of a new , enhancements to broadcast , and renovations to locker rooms and training facilities, funded primarily through PNE resources with potential support from broader government economic development grants allocated to the organization. While these projects have sustained the arena's viability for amid deferred maintenance challenges, observers have noted that the venue lags in comprehensive modernization relative to newer facilities, relying on targeted fixes rather than wholesale overhauls.

Sports events

Ice hockey

The Pacific Coliseum hosted the of the National Hockey League as their primary home arena from the team's inception in 1970 through the 1994–95 season, spanning 25 years and over 1,900 regular-season and playoff games. The inaugural NHL contest at the venue occurred on October 9, 1970, with the Canucks falling 3–1 to the before a crowd of 15,255. The Canucks advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals twice during this period, in 1982 against the and in 1994 against the , with Game 6 of the latter series drawing significant local support on June 11, 1994. The final Canucks game at the arena was a 4–3 overtime playoff loss to the on May 27, 1995. Following the Canucks' relocation to the newly constructed General Motors Place (now ) for the 1995–96 season, the venue shifted focus to junior hockey with the arrival of the of the in 2001. The Giants played home games there for 15 seasons, achieving successes such as WHL championships in 2006 and 2007, before departing in 2016 amid declining attendance—averaging just 5,546 fans per game in the 2009–10 season—and operational considerations. The team's move to the Langley Events Centre reflected broader challenges for mid-tier junior franchises in competing with modern NHL facilities for fan loyalty and revenue. The arena regained a professional hockey anchor in April 2025 when the awarded an expansion franchise to , designating the Pacific Coliseum as its home venue starting with the 2025–26 season. PWHL , the league's sixth team, will serve as the building's primary tenant, with its debut home game set for November 21, 2025, against PWHL Seattle. This arrangement revives high-level women's professional hockey in the facility, leveraging its while addressing the venue's need for consistent usage post-Giants era.

Other athletic competitions

The Pacific Coliseum has occasionally hosted non-ice athletic competitions, though such events are infrequent due to the venue's primary configuration as an , which requires significant setup for floor-based sports. These gatherings have included international qualifiers and matches, providing community access to high-profile competitions while drawing modest attendance compared to hockey events. In January 2020, the arena served as the site for the NORCECA Men's Olympic Qualification Tournament, held from January 10 to 12, featuring national teams from , , , and in a round-robin format to determine qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Canada advanced by defeating Cuba 3-2 in the decisive match on January 12, with the event attracting approximately 5,000 spectators per session and highlighting the venue's adaptability for temporary court installations over the ice surface. Boxing bouts have also occurred, most notably the heavyweight rematch between Muhammad Ali and George Chuvalo on May 1, 1972, which drew a crowd of 15,500 and ended in a unanimous decision victory for Ali after 12 rounds, with no knockdowns recorded. This event, part of a card including Canadian championships, underscored the coliseum's early role in hosting combat sports amid Vancouver's limited large-scale boxing infrastructure at the time. Exhibition basketball games, such as performances, have filled the sporadically, with a January 28, 2025, show accommodating up to 16,000 attendees in a setup, emphasizing over competitive play but contributing to local sports engagement. No major exhibitions or regular MMA bouts are documented, reflecting logistical constraints like flooring conversions that limit such activities to one-off or low-frequency occurrences.

Entertainment and public events

Concerts and performances

The Pacific Coliseum has hosted a range of musical concerts since the , beginning with rock tours featuring acts such as on June 23, 1975, and Bachman-Turner Overdrive alongside & the Silver Bullet Band on August 24, 1975. These events drew crowds reflecting the venue's capacity for over 15,000 attendees, establishing it as a key stop for mid-sized arena tours in during that era. By the , the arena continued to attract heavy metal and rock performers, including Metallica on May 31, 1989, amid a decade of high-energy shows that capitalized on the venue's central location for audiences. More recently, the Coliseum has shifted toward diverse cultural performances, exemplified by the October 18, 2025, "ASAP in Vancouver" event, which marked 30 years of the Filipino variety program ASAP with two sold-out shows at 12:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., featuring performers like Piolo Pascual, Daniel Padilla, and Vice Ganda. This gathering of the Filipino diaspora highlighted the venue's role in fostering community-specific entertainment, with explosive performances evoking a sense of cultural homecoming for attendees. The arena's domed design offers acoustic benefits, including enhanced that builds immersive sound for concerts, as seen in general applications where reflected energy amplifies audience energy without excessive electronic augmentation. However, its aging presents logistical hurdles, such as suboptimal loading docks that prolong setup for elaborate stage productions and touring rigs. Concerts at the Coliseum contribute to the Pacific National Exhibition's year-round event revenues, which exceeded $11 million annually as of 2016, supporting local economic activity through ticket sales and ancillary spending despite market saturation challenges. As an enclosed venue, the Coliseum generates fewer external disturbances than outdoor PNE events, though isolated neighbor complaints about bass rumble during bass-heavy shows underscore ongoing tensions in the densely populated Hastings Park area. These performances underscore the Coliseum's enduring cultural value, bridging rock heritage with contemporary ethnic spectacles while navigating operational trade-offs inherent to mid-tier arenas.

Filming and media productions

The Pacific Coliseum has been utilized as a versatile filming location for numerous films and television productions, leveraging its large arena space to depict sports venues, convention halls, and industrial interiors. Productions often require temporary modifications such as set construction, lighting blackouts, and crowd simulations, which can span several weeks and temporarily halt regular venue operations. In feature films, the venue featured prominently in Best in Show (2000), where interior scenes portrayed the competitive Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show, including judging and audience interactions. The Sixth Man (1997) used the arena for key basketball game sequences, standing in for a college sports facility. More recently, The Smashing Machine (2025), a biographical drama starring Dwayne Johnson as MMA fighter Mark Kerr, constructed a replica Tokyo Dome wrestling ring inside the Coliseum to film fight scenes and training montages during principal photography from March to July 2024. Other films include Miracle (2004), which shot hockey rink interiors for Olympic match depictions; Cats & Dogs (2001), employing the space for action sequences; and MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate (2001), featuring primate basketball antics. Television series have frequently employed the Coliseum for episodic action and ensemble scenes. (2012–2020) filmed multiple episodes there, including a Russian fight club in season 5 and a gun exchange site in "The Recruits," as well as stadium exteriors in season 6. (2015–2021) used the venue for National City Power Company interiors in season 2's "We Can Be Heroes," toy convention chaos in season 5's "Back from the Future," and DEO basement sequences. Additional credits include for survivalist settings and Roadies (2016) for backstage concert simulations. These shoots highlight Vancouver's role as "Hollywood North," with the Coliseum's infrastructure supporting high-production-value transformations while contributing modestly to local film revenue through rentals and crew spending.

Political, religious, and community gatherings

The Pacific Coliseum has hosted numerous religious assemblies, primarily district conventions organized by . In 1969, it served as the venue for the "Peace on Earth" International Assembly, accommodating thousands of attendees shortly after the arena's opening, as the adjacent PNE grounds proved insufficient for the expected crowd. Subsequent events included the "Divine Purpose" Assembly in 1974 and the "Kingdom Loyalty" Convention in 1981, both drawing significant participation from local and regional congregations for multi-day programs focused on scriptural teachings and organizational announcements. These gatherings underscored the arena's capacity for large-scale, structured religious programming, with attendance often exceeding 10,000 over the course of the events, though exact figures varied by year and were reported internally by the organization. Community gatherings at the Coliseum have included assemblies tied to broader civic or organizational purposes, such as educational forums and group conventions, leveraging its central location in Hastings Park for accessibility. However, specific large-scale town halls or non-religious community forums are less documented compared to its and uses, reflecting the venue's primary orientation toward ticketed spectacles rather than open civic discourse. Political rallies or demonstrations have been rare, with no major partisan events or high-profile speeches verified in historical records, potentially due to the arena's association with the grounds, which prioritize commercial and recreational programming over ideological assemblies. This limited role highlights practical constraints like and event booking preferences, though the facility's supports such uses when demand arises.

Esports tournaments

The Pacific Coliseum hosted the 2025 (MSI), ' second major international tournament of the year, from June 27 to July 12. The venue was selected for its capacity to accommodate large crowds and production setups, with the announcement made on March 20, 2025. This event marked a significant milestone for the arena, drawing global attention to competitive gaming in a facility traditionally used for and concerts. The tournament featured ten teams from five regions—China, Europe, Korea, North America, and the Pacific (encompassing , , and )—competing in a multi-stage format. It included a double-elimination play-in from June 27 to 29 to qualify additional teams, followed by a double-elimination concluding on July 12, with matches broadcast live to audiences worldwide. Notable participants included established organizations such as Esports from Korea and from , alongside regional qualifiers like GAM Esports from and Anyone's Legend from . Esports configurations at the Coliseum involved specialized stage setups with high-end computing stations, large LED screens for spectator viewing, and integrated broadcast facilities, diverging from the arena's standard or configurations to support low-latency digital competition. The event also incorporated fan activations, including areas and meet-and-greets with players, enhancing its appeal as a hybrid gaming and entertainment spectacle. While esports events remain infrequent at the venue due to the need for custom technical infrastructure and ' rotating international host selections, the 2025 MSI underscored the arena's adaptability to this sector's growth.

Incidents and operational issues

Security breaches and accidents

On June 5, 2025, a 30-year-old man drove a dark-colored into the front entrance of the Pacific Coliseum at approximately 8 p.m., during a performance attended by around 2,000 people. The vehicle struck a concrete column and shattered glass doors, but no injuries occurred, and the incident was attributed to the driver's religious delusions following erratic behavior reported earlier that evening from a study group. Coliseum security personnel immediately detained the suspect, who was then apprehended by officers under the Mental Health Act for evaluation; the venue was not evacuated, and the show continued after a brief pause. In July 2022, ticket sales for Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moose Wala's scheduled concert at the on July 23 were delayed by the after Police raised concerns over potential security risks linked to the artist's history of gang-related controversies and threats. Police reports cited the need for enhanced threat assessments, prompting organizers to postpone sales until after consultation, though the event was ultimately canceled following Moose Wala's murder in on May 29, 2022. This preemptive measure averted any on-site breach but highlighted vulnerabilities in event planning for high-risk performers.

Maintenance and safety criticisms

The Pacific Coliseum, opened in 1968, exemplifies challenges common to mid-20th-century venues, with aging systems contributing to elevated expenses and operational inefficiencies. The facility's original electrical , including outdated , incurred substantial costs until a $2.6 million LED completed in 2023, projected to yield annual savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the nonprofit PNE operator. Such interventions underscore persistent demands for retrofits to address inefficiencies in pre-1990s building systems prevalent in Vancouver's public arenas. Safety concerns have centered on the venue's capacity to handle modern dynamics and compliance, given its design predates current standards for egress and . Attendees have reported issues with management and prolonged lines, potentially exacerbated by the arena's fixed seating and entry configurations from an era with less emphasis on rapid evacuation. Broader audits of Vancouver's recreational highlight risks like undetected pipe leaks under ice surfaces—relevant to the Coliseum's hockey configurations—amid insufficient city budgeting for full replacements, leaving operators reliant on patchwork repairs. PNE management has allocated funds for targeted upkeep, including the 2023 lighting project and preparations for a professional women's hockey team in 2025, which necessitate further structural enhancements to compete with newer facilities like . However, a 2021 proposal to repurpose the Coliseum as a temporary during the was abandoned, as provincial officials deemed its active event scheduling incompatible with conversion, prioritizing revenue-generating uses over alternative public applications. These responses reflect fiscal constraints, with PNE covering maintenance independently while facing debt pressures that limit comprehensive overhauls.
