Bell Centre

The Bell Centre, home to the Montreal Canadiens, hosts over 1 million visitors annually and plays centre stage in Montreal to major sporting, cultural and entertainment events each year. Completed in 1996 at a cost of $270 million, the Bell Centre has a capacity for 21,302 hockey fans and covers 3.87 acres making it the largest hockey arena in the world. In 2015, the Bell Centre was refreshed to the tune of $100 million, which included a variety of interior renovation and the conversion of Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal to a pedestrian roadway.

world’s largest hockey arena with 3.87 acres of land coverage

The Bell Centre was designed by the consortium of LeMay & Associates, Dessau, SNC-Lavalin and Huber, Hunt and Nichols, Magil. It has a variety of unique design features incorporated within its structure including steeply slopped grandstands for improved sight lines.

The construction of the Bell Centre includes 11,000 metric tons of rebar in part produced locally by ArcelorMittal Long Products. The Bell Centre’s success came from a “hat trick” of factors: its ideal and central location in Montreal’s downtown core, and the integration of a new train station within the Bell Centre project that connected both to commuter rail and the Metro subway system.
