The Building
Overview
Vidéotron Centre is Québec City's modern major arena and one of Canada's most discussed NHL-ready venues without an NHL tenant. Opened in 2015, it replaced Colisée Pepsi as the home of the Québec Remparts and was designed with capacity and amenities suitable for top-tier hockey and concerts.
Vidéotron Centre opened in 2015 as Québec City's bid for an NHL return after the 1995 Nordiques relocation. Designed by Populous to NHL specifications, it remains one of the most modern arenas in North America without an NHL tenant — a building waiting for a team.
Currently home to the QMJHL Québec Remparts and a busy concert calendar.
