General Motors Place

Cons: Steep prices for everything from food to souvenirs; congestion will always be a problem

I remember when General Motors Place was first constructed in Vancouver, British Columbia and opened up in 1995. It was a new era as Arthur Griffiths, Jr, owner of the Vancouver Canucks NHL hockey team, announced the building of a ...

Pros: Right next to Skytrain, not a bad seat in the house, state-of-the-art.
Cons: Pricey food and beverages, Skytrain wait.

GM Place, home to the Vancouver Canucks, is an excellent venue for sports and entertainment events. Since its opening in 1995, "the Garage" has welcomed over 10 million visitors. Since I've only visited GM Place during hockey games, I will approach this ...

Pros: Good atmosphere, Canucks, state-of-the-art
Cons: pricey food, bad parking, some idiots

Now I have been to over 10 hockey games at this facility so most of what I say here will apply to that. I have also been to a Christian event in GM Place, which was very weird for me because the atmosphere is then completely different and will take too ...

Pros: Great rink. Well taken care of. Great ice.
Cons: none.

I love this stadium. You can see from any seat, there isnt a bad one in the house. It has one of the ...

Pros: Prices, food, seating

Pros: GM Place - Awesome View, Awesome Sound.

I have been to G.M. Place many times, for nearly every type of event that is offered there.

When it finished construction in Sept. 1995, G.M. Place opened as a permanent venue for the Vancouver Canucks Hockey franchise. Located in downtown...

Pros: it's big, comfy seating, good capacity, loud speakers, huge scoreboard, and what a great horn!
Cons: none.

General Motors Place is the greatest sports entertainment arena out there. It is great on the outside, and just as nice on the inside. The food selection is big, and they just got a brewery. "Authentix", the souvenir shop is very good and big and carries...

Pros: Great View to observe all the action from anywhere
Cons: food can be a bit pricey

Gm place is the home of the Vancouver Canucks, Grizzlies, and other entertaining venues. Gm place has held a lot of the biggest names in the music industry and even hosted the WWF. The building has great seats to offer and you can witness the...

Pros: Right at a Sky Train station.
Cons: Ticket prices are high for young couples.

My first Hockey game took place here. January 6, 2001 - Vancouver Canucks VS the Columbus Blue Jackets. The reason I consented to a Hockey Game is through my work, I got the tickets for $20 a peice, including dinner. My Fiance was estatic....

Pros: Great view. Excellent access to public transit.
Cons: Food boring, bland and expensive.

As stadiums go, GM Place (affectionately referred to as "The Garage" by local sports commentators) is effective, but unremarkable. I've seen stadiums with more and better souvenir shops, better food, better seats and certainly better teams. But one...

Pros: excellent looks, great feel
Cons: a little skinny walkway to get to you seat, parking

Hi,

First of all, GM Place is probably one of the nicest arenas you will find. Every seat in this building gives you a great view. I think that there could be more parking however because I found that you have to park on the streets a lot....

Pros: accessible, exchange rate for USA, and view of court
Cons: the team that plays there (hehe)

My family has season tickets to the Vancouver Grizzlies. They play at General Motors Place which is a great arena. It is easy to park and to get to the arena because the parking is literally 20 yards from the arena itself. When you get in, you can...

Pros: outside, inside, scoreboard, sound
Cons: none really

I am a Vancouver Grizzlies season ticket holder. I just have a question for all the people that go to games, not neccessarily in the club section. Do you find the seats comfortable? Have you encountered any problems with the seats? Have the...

Pros: Great Seats and View everywhere. Great People and Fans
Cons: Hockey Ticket $$ are too high and the team sucks

I happen to have lived in Vancouver, Canada the last 30 years so this may be a slightly biased opinion :) GM Place has been a great addition to Vancouver's sports attractions replacing a very old arena at the PNE playgrounds located 30 minutes away from...

Pros: Beautiful exterior, interior, sound, scoreboard
Cons: none really

My family has had Grizzlies season-tickets since day one (Oct.1995) and I am very familiar with General Motors Place. Our seats are 7th row center in the Air Canada club. Because we have club seats, we get a free parking pass to park in the garage,...
