When it's not hosting cheering hockey crowds, it plays host to a plethora of big-ticket concerts and other local sports events such as figure skating and curling. Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and a capacity of over 7000, the Save-On-Foods Memorial Arena has previously hosted famous bands and artists like Black Eyed Peas, Def Leppard, Bob Dylan, Kiss, David Copperfield, and Sir Elton John.
