The Vancouver Canucks are set to make a handful of significant upgrades to Rogers Arena, but none more important than the installation of brand-new premium seats. These upgraded seats will be installed by the start of the 2025-26 season.
These sleek black seats will come standard with higher backrests and a convenient cup holder for every fan. Irwin Seating Company, a trusted name supplying seats to many top-tier NHL arenas, have been selected to be the supplier and manufacturer for Vancouver. This news will excite many as Canucks fans have long been calling for new seats to better the spectating experience inside Rogers Arena.
The arena began the first of three phases of renovations before the start of the 2022/23 NHL season.
Phase one consisted of a complete renovation of the players dressing room and team staff area. Phase two was the new centre-hung video board and a new ribbon board going around the arena above the lower bowl. A new VIP restaurant, the WELL Health President’s Club, was also added in between the two tunnels that lead out to the home and away team benches. Phase three, which includes the seating upgrades, among others, is expected to begin before the 2025-26 NHL season.
Beyond the new seats, other exciting developments are taking place at Rogers Arena to improve the fan experience. Toyota Plaza has been transformed into a vibrant space for pre-event entertainment, featuring live performances and photo-ops.
Fans can also look forward to the Molson Hockey House and the exclusive Madrí Excepcional Lounge, which offers new social hubs for hanging out before games. Over 700 new TVs have also been installed throughout the arena to ensure fans never miss a minute of action, even on the loo.
All the upgrades will bring a new experience to Rogers Arena without a doubt, but the new seats will be especially anticipated by long-time Canucks fans’ behinds.
