Videotron Centre is Quebec City's premier destination for indoor events with an impressive seating capacity of 18,259. The state-of-the-art arena boasts a design spawned by the Canadians' passion for ice hockey. Inside, the ice rink is surrounded by seating on all sides arranged around a notoriously steep bowl for a more intimate view of the action on the ice. Home of the Quebec Remparts, the arena also hosts concerts by world-renown artists and other major events, however, its primary focus remains the national winter sport of Canada. Designed by François Moreau, the extravagant opening ceremony of the Videotron Center was attended by notable personalities like the then Premier of Quebec, Jean Charest, former Quebec Nordiques players Michel Goulet, Peter Stastny, and Alain Côté.
