Downtown Vancouver arena guide
Rogers Arena is the home of the Vancouver Canucks and one of Vancouver's main concert and entertainment venues. It sits at 800 Griffiths Way beside BC Place in the downtown stadium district.
Transit is the easy option
Stadium-Chinatown Station on the Expo Line is directly adjacent to Rogers Arena. The Stadium exit is across from Gate 10. This makes the arena unusually easy to reach from downtown, Burnaby, Surrey and other SkyTrain-connected communities.
Parking reality
The arena's underground Lot 987 opens for ticket holders only shortly before doors for many events, and it is not open to general public parking during Canucks games. Thousands of third-party stalls exist within walking distance, but event pricing and availability vary.
Arrive before doors
Download mobile tickets, check the bag policy and know your gate before joining the crowd. If dining before the event, choose Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown or the immediate stadium district so a traffic delay does not become a missed opening.
Accessibility
Accessible parking is limited and reservation-based. Contact Fan Services in advance when parking or venue assistance is required.
Choosing the right arrival time
For a Canucks game or major concert, arriving 45–75 minutes before the advertised start gives most visitors time for security, concessions and locating seats. Premium-event instructions can differ, so use the event page as the final authority.
Food before or inside the arena?
Eating before arrival gives more restaurant choice and can reduce concession spending. Inside the arena, convenience is the advantage. If dining outside, choose somewhere in Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown or the stadium district rather than relying on a long cross-city trip.
After the event
Expect temporary crowding at Stadium-Chinatown Station. If you are not in a hurry, a short walk toward Gastown, Yaletown or another nearby station can sometimes be more comfortable than joining the first post-event surge.
