Stadium Reviews

Springfield is an original AHL city, but it looked like their time in the league was done when the Falcons left town. That all changed when a new team and new ownership arrived, reinvigorating interest in minor league hockey in the city. The MassMutual Center may have a definite 70s vibe to its design, but the game day experience here is all new.

MetLife Stadium is the home of the New York Giants, and the game day experience is much different that of their co-tenants, the New York Jets.

The relocation of the FireWolves to Oshawa from Albany is an ambitious idea moving to the smallest venue in the NLL.  However, the move to the Tribute Communities Centre has brought professional lacrosse back to the east side of the GTA.  It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the FireWolves.

In a return to Hamilton, the Toronto Rock are enjoying a renovated new home in TD Coliseum.  There is a different vibe surrounding the upgraded facility and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Rock in their return to the Hammer.

The Booth is worth a visit during football stadium and is one of the more lively venues in college football.

The OJHL moving from Brantford to King City is an interesting one.  The ownership situation in King is an interesting one as well.  The King Rebellion now enjoy their brand new facility in JTF Homes Arena @ Zancor Centre and time will tell if the Rebellion will be a long term staple for the area or a flash in the pan, much like the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837.

For the most part, the sports scene in tiny Rhode Island is ruled by the nearby Boston professional teams. Providence College basketball gives Ocean State residents something to call their own. The Friars rule the local sports scene. The Amica Mutual Pavilion is an outstanding mid-sized arena which fits the needs of Providence perfectly.

The University of Texas has recently announced plans to construct a new multipurpose public arena that will ultimately become the home of the Longhorns four-time National Championship women’s volleyball program.

While Pieri Gymnasium may not be much to look at, it boasts a pretty impressive history for such a small facility. As Dean College grows their athletic program, this old barn will be sure to see more history made in the future.

After pressure from the Siskins alumni, in 2025, the GOHL’s Siskins returned to the “Waterloo Siskins” moniker, having previously played as the Kitchener-Waterloo Siskins.  The Siskins continue to put a solid product on the ice and the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex is a good facility which has benefited from some recent, key renovations.

The Hart Center is one of the nicer small basketball facilities in this part of the country. Watching a Crusaders game is an affordable experience in an intimate setting. While Holy Cross no longer competes among the giants in the sport, college basketball historians will enjoy looking around the Hart Center at the reminders of the Crusaders’ glory days.
