Event Centre

In April 2024, Greater Sudbury City Council approved plans to proceed with the development of a new Event Centre in the downtown south district. This modern facility will serve as a premier destination for sports and entertainment, providing a vibrant and dynamic space for residents and visitors alike.

Designed to meet the needs of the region while capitalizing on market opportunities, the Event Centre will play a key role in enhancing the city's reputation as a thriving community and an attractive business and lifestyle destination.

The event centre will be designed as a state-of-the-art venue to accommodate concerts, sporting events, community gatherings and other unforgettable experiences. Proposed key features include:

• Seating Capacity: 5,800 fixed seats, including general seating, club seating, loge box seating and private suites.

• Premium Suites: 20 private suites in three sizes, accommodating up to 12 people.

• Concessions: Strategically located food and beverage stations throughout the concourse, aligned with industry best practices for guest convenience.

• Back-of-House: Well-developed facilities to support quick setup and takedown, allowing for a seamless transition between a variety of sporting and non-sporting events.
