Videotron Centre
The Videotron Centre (French: ''Centre Vidéotron'') is an indoor arena in Quebec City, Quebec. The 18,259-seat arena replaces Colisée Pepsi as Quebec City's primary venue for indoor events. The new arena is primarily used for ice hockey, and has been prospected as the potential venue for a new or re-located National Hockey League team in Quebec City, and to host hockey as part of a Winter Olympic Games bid. The building opened on September 8, 2015.〔http://montrealgazette.com/news/quebec/quebec-citys-new-arena-opens-its-doors-to-public〕 It is now the 6th largest indoor arena in Canada, 2nd biggest in Quebec.
== History ==
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new arena was held on September 3, 2012, attended by then-Quebecor Chairman Pierre Karl Péladeau, then-Premier of Quebec Jean Charest, and former Quebec Nordiques players Michel Goulet, Peter Stastny and Alain Côté. Arena construction began on September 10, 2012.
The arena was expected to cost $400 million, but cost $370 million instead; 50% of the cost will be covered by the city and province each. On March 1, 2011 Quebecor entered into an agreement to acquire management rights to the new arena, a deal expected to be between $33 million and $63 million up front, plus between $3.15 million and $5 million in annual rent. The value of the deal will increase if an NHL franchise moves into the arena; Quebecor has actively backed an expansion franchise for Quebec City.〔 This arrangement was made without public tender, for which the provincial government provided legal immunity.
As part of the management contract, Quebecor also holds the arena's naming rights; on April 7, 2015, it was announced that the arena would carry the name of Quebecor-owned cable company Vidéotron, and be known as the ''Videotron Centre'' (Centre Vidéotron in French). The arena held its official opening on September 3, running public two-hour tours for the following three days.〔(Videotron Centre opens its doors in Quebec City )〕 On September 12, Videotron Centre broke the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League attendance record by attracting 18,259 spectators to a match between the Quebec City Remparts and the Rimouski Oceanic.〔(Quebec City inaugurates hockey arena with record-breaking crowd )〕 Metallica was the first musical attraction of the stadium, on September 16, two days after the band played the last concert held at Colisée Pepsi.〔(Metallica Announce Pair of Quebec City Concerts )〕
