Saskatoon Arena was an indoor arena located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which opened in October 1937, and which was demolished in March 1989.[1] The arena was situated in downtown Saskatoon, on a site overlooking the South Saskatchewan River.[2] It was the city's main entertainment venue for a half-century, before it was replaced in 1988 by Saskatchewan Place.
