The Rogers Arena in Vancouver B.C. was designed by Brook and Beynon Brisbon.  When I visit new cities, I usually try and find tickets to visit their local arena because although most of them are generally the same on the inside, their ambiance is all unique. The Rogers arena is one of my favorites because of how close it is to a body of water. Before the concert, I had poutine by the bay and was found the placing of the arena really cool. The vast amount of entrances made it kind of confusing at times but that is how all arenas are.

The distinguishing feature of the Rogers Arena which I fell in love with is the retractable roof. While watching a game, I could see a lot of the buildings through the rooftop which was something different. Vancouver is an incredible city that mixes man-made items with the landscape. Instead of feeling trapped, being in the open area was a different experience because of how fresh it felt. When I returned for a Harry Styles concert, it was shut and set up differently which made it feel like an entirely different building. I really like where it is placed within the city but also that every event feels like the arena was built specifically for that rather than it’s actual multipurpose intention.
