Vidéotron Centre (French: Centre Vidéotron) is an indoor arena in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The 18,259-seat arena replaced Colisée Pepsi as Quebec City's primary venue for indoor events. The arena is primarily used for ice hockey, serving as the home arena of the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL and has been prospected as a venue for a new or re-located National Hockey League team in Quebec City,[5][6] and as part of a Winter Olympic Games bid.[7][8][9] The building opened on September 8, 2015.[10] It is now the nineteenth-largest indoor arena in North America, and the third largest that does not host an NHL team.
