Why go
The Coliseum is a specialist stop for event-goers or fans of arena architecture and sports history. Its low, saucer-like form contrasts with newer downtown venues, and its past includes major hockey and Olympic moments. Without scheduled access, the exterior is the principal thing to see.
What to look for
- Broad, low concrete roof characteristic of its era
- Long association with Vancouver hockey
- Role in the city’s Olympic and entertainment history
Useful to know
- Treat interior access as event-only and check the current Hastings Park calendar.
- Use transit for major events because the surrounding grounds become busy.
- Combine an exterior look with another Hastings Park destination rather than making a separate trip.
