Profile Last Updated: March 11, 2008
Formerly known as the Molson Centre, the state-of-the-art sport and entertainment complex located in the heart of downtown Montreal was renamed the Bell Centre in 2002 and plays host to all the must-see events in the city. First opened to the public in the spring of 1996, the home of the Montreal Canadiens aptly doubles as a venue for touring rock stars and other musicians. The gigantic room’s acoustics are guaranteed to have every show end on a high note!
Best Seats in Town
As the National Hockey League's legendary Montreal Canadiens’ home ice stadium, the Bell Centre attracts more than 1.5 million visitors per year. Most of these visitors are sports fans and many others are spectators for the more than 120 variety shows staged over the course of every season. Special seating includes the Club Desjardins section where fans receive free non-alcoholic beverages and a choice from all concession foods included in the price of their ticket. The Centre also houses restaurants Cage aux Sports and The Mise au jeu Bar and Lounge among others.
Stadium Rock!
Billed as the best venue in town, the Bell Centre is easily accessible via car, train or metro. The arena is the largest indoor music venue in Montreal and thus caters to a variety of famous stars and rockers. Featuring a total seating capacity of up to 21,500 and covering a total expanse of 168,780 square feet, Montrealers can rest assured that they're getting the best seats in town for each and every event held at the Bell Centre. And if you arrive a little early for the show, be sure to check out the Restaurant Mise au Jeu and the official Canadiens Souvenir Boutique.
